Adam Haslett, New York, New York, July 10, 2009 by Beowulf Sheehan.
Already garnering stellar reviews, Imagine Me Gone tenderly and luminously deals with mental illness and with the life of the mind. It has been lauded by Tony Kushner ( Angels in America ) as one of the great books about loss and mourning, and described by Publisher’s Weekly as a “hypnotic and haunting novel.”
This is Adam Haslett’s third work of fiction. His first, the short story collection You Are Not a Stranger Here, was a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist. Union Atlantic, his second novel, won the Lambda Literary Award. His books have been translated into eighteen languages and he has been awarded a Guggenheim fellowship and two PEN awards. A graduate of Swarthmore College, the Iowa Writer’s Workshop and Yale Law School, Haslett has been a visiting professor at both the Iowa Writer’s Workshop and Columbia University.
Event host [words] Bookstore is located in the heart of downtown Maplewood at 179 Maplewood Avenue. This event is free and open to the public, with no prior registration necessary.
