03.12: Elisa Albert in Conversation with Robin Romm
2015-02-14 01:01:37| Powells Books Events Calendar
After Birth (Houghton Mifflin) is the fierce new novel from Elisa Albert, in which childbirth and new motherhood are as high stakes a proving ground as any combat zone. With piercing insight, purifying anger, and outrageous humor, Albert issues a wake-up call to a culture that turns its new mothers into exiles and expects them to act like natives. Like Lionel Shriver's We Need to Talk about Kevin and Anne Enright's The Gathering, Albert's After Birth is a daring and resonant novel from one of our most visceral writers. Albert will be joined in conversation by Robin Romm, author of The Mercy Papers.
