09.22: Sarah Waters in Conversation with Lidia Yuknavitch
2014-08-18 22:38:51| Powells Books Events Calendar
It is 1922, and London is tense. Ex-servicemen are disillusioned; the out-of-work and the hungry are demanding change. And in South London, life is about to be transformed as an impoverished widow, Mrs. Wray, and her spinster daughter, Frances, are obliged to take in lodgers. With the arrival of Lilian and Leonard, a young couple of the "clerk class," the routines of the house will be shaken up in unexpected ways. Little do the Wrays know just how profoundly their new tenants will alter the course of Frances's life. Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize three times, Sarah Waters has earned a reputation as one of our greatest writers of historical fiction. A triumph of psychological acuity, historical recreation, and emotional force, The Paying Guests (Riverhead) is Waters's finest work yet. Waters will be joined in conversation by Lidia Yuknavitch, author of The Chronology of Water.

Washington Post: The last thing Rodney Donald was expecting during his familys vacation on the Chesapeake Bay was to almost lose a leg to an aggressive bacteria growing in the brackish waters. Ive grown up on the bay my whole life, and Im 66, said Donald, propped up in a bed at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, his right leg stretched out, swathed in bandages.
