Fiction: Joanna Hershon & Elisa Albert

Joanna Hershon reads from her novel: The German Bride

Hershon's new book, The German Bride, is a surprising novel of grace and refinement. It is a tale of the American West, but unlike any I have ever read before. She enters Willa Cather territory and does it with a rare elegance and complete originality. I was not familiar with Joanna Hershon's work when I read this novel and it made me order her first two books." ––Pat Conroy

Elisa Albert reads from her novel: The Book of Dahlia

“Hilarious and heartbreaking…Albert’s superb first novel delivers Dahlia’s laissez-faire attitude toward other people and lack of ambition with such exactness as to strip them of cliché and make them grimly vivid…her brilliant style makes the novel’s central question—should we mourn a wasted life?—shockingly poignant.”—Publishers Weekly, (starred review)
