Ilana Masad and All My Mother's Lovers Thursday, July 9 • 6:00pm
Told over the course of a funeral and shiva, and written with enormous wit and warmth, All My Mother's Lovers is the much-anticipated debut novel from Israeli-American fiction writer and book critic Ilana Masad. A unique meditation on the universality and particularity of family ties and grief, and a tender and biting portrait of sex, gender, and identity. FREE, $5 suggested donation
