SUMMARY:Family Ties that Bind with Francisco Goldman\, Atticus Lish\, and Ruth Ozeki
DESCRIPTION:Often the heart of the matter\, stories of family underscore some of the most intimate and poignant moments in our lives. Delve into these ancestral tales and stories of modern familial dynamics. Francisco Goldman is one of the most important literary voices writing today. Monkey Boy is arguably one of his finest works—a stunning portrait of family\, and growing up Mexican-American in New York City. Atticus Lish\, a PEN/Faulkner winning author\, has penned a searing\, tender novel about parental relationships and the often-painful move into adulthood. The War for Gloria follows a young boy struggling to become a man\, and to protect his mother\, in a town beset by working class and affluent divides. Ruth Ozeki was a finalist for the Booker Prize with A Tale for the Time Being. She returns to the Festival with The Book of Form and Emptiness\, that grapples with loss\, growing up\, and our relationship with things\, as told through Benny Oh who’s hearing voices as he lives with his disturbed mother. \n\n\n\n\nModerated by Claudia Casper. \n\nThis event is Pay What You Can! Book a ticket to this event to receive a link to watch the livestream wherever you are.

SUMMARY:On Animals: Susan Orlean in Conversation with Mark Medley
DESCRIPTION:Each time Susan Orlean graces the Writers Fest with a visit\, audiences are reminded why she is called “a national treasure” by The Washington Post. The New Yorker staff writer\, and author of The Library Book joins us to celebrate her latest work—a collection of musings\, meditations\, and in-depth profiles about animals. “I think I’ll always have animals and I think I’ll always write about them. Their unknowability challenges me. Our affection for them intrigues me\,” she explained\, when sharing the motivation behind these works\, written on her farm and amidst her travels. Orlean has the uncanny ability to make us newly recognize and think differently about items and beings in our midst. On Animals is yet another stunning example of Orlean’s transcendent skill as a writer to make us newly recognize and think differently about items and creatures in our midst. \n\nThis event is Pay What You Can! Book a ticket to this event to receive a link to watch the livestream wherever you are.

SUMMARY:Maria Stepanova in Conversation with Aislinn Hunter
DESCRIPTION:Maria Stepanova became an internationally-recognized name in literature thanks to her Booker Prize-shortlisted\, genre-defying work. In Russia\, she has been revered as one of the most important poets of the post-Soviet generation for years. In Memory of Memory is a response to Stepanova’s own lived experience\, sifting through faded photographs\, old postcards\, letters\, diaries\, and heaps of souvenirs to tell the story of how her seemingly ordinary Jewish family somehow managed to survive the myriad persecutions and repressions of the last century. In dialogue with writers like Roland Barthes\, W. G. Sebald\, Susan Sontag\, and Osip Mandelstam\, Stepanova’s work is a rare gift. The author speaks with poet and novelist Aislinn Hunter about blending genres and grappling with the past. \nThis event is Pay What You Can!
