John Hinckley Jr.'s 1981 assassination attempt on President Reagan shocked the nation. It was also the year Andrea Kleine learned her close childhood friend had been violently murdered by her socialite mother, Leslie DeVeau. These two real-life, converging events inspired Kleine's novel, Calf (Soft Skull).

Kleine will be joined in conversation by Vanessa Veselka, author of Zazen.
