SUMMARY:Katharine Dion\, The Dependents
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz presents Katharine Dion\, in conversation with Elizabeth McKenzie\, for her new book\, The Dependents—a wise and lyrical debut novel about a new widower confronting the truth about his long marriage. This event is part of our Debuts of Summer series. Receive a collectible button\, designed by Bookshop\, to commemorate this event.  \nAfter the sudden death of his wife\, Maida\, Gene is haunted by the fear that their marriage was not all it appeared to be. Alongside Ed and Gayle Donnelly\, friends since college days\, he tries to resurrect happy memories of the times the two couples shared\, raising their children in a small New Hampshire town and vacationing together at a lake house every summer. Meanwhile\, his daughter\, Dary\, challenges not only his happy version of the past but also his view of Maida. As a long-standing rift between them deepens\, Gene starts to understand how unknown his daughter is to him–and how enigmatic his wife was as well. And a lingering suspicion seizes his mind that could upend everything he thought he knew. \nKatharine Dion’s assured debut moves seamlessly between Gene’s present-day journey and the long history of a marriage and friendship. Rich and wonderfully alive\, The Dependents is the most moving kind of drama\, an intimate glance into the expanse of family life and the way we must all eventually bridge the chasm between what we want to believe and what we know to be true. \n“The Dependents is a big book\, one that grapples with important questions through generations…Dion’s intelligence and ambition truly shine through sentence after sentence.” —Kate Walbert\, National Book Award finalist and author of A Short History of Women \nKatharine Dion was born in Oakland\, California. She is a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop\, where she was awarded the Iowa Arts Fellowship. She has also been a MacDowell Fellow and the recipient of a grant from the Elizabeth George Foundation. She lives in Berkeley\, California. The Dependents is her first novel. \nThis free event will take place at Bookshop Santa Cruz\, 1520 Pacific Ave.\, Santa Cruz\, CA. Chairs for open seating are usually set up an hour before the event begins.
