May Chapters at New-York Historical Society with Emma Straub

In Modern Lovers, Emma Straub brings the same lovable dysfunction that she brought to the Post Family in The Vacationers, only this time the family is a family of friends. The Millions has likened the novel’s backdrop to a Noah Baumbach film, though Brooklyn Magazine points out that what Straub does with this familiar literary milieu “is smart and fresh, offering new insights into the lives of people all around us.” Like in The Vacationers, Straub again brings her keen observation and subtle wisdom to a story of relationships that explores ambition and pleasure, the excitement of youth and the shock of middle age, all while maintaining throughout that perfect balance of amusement, substance and tenderness. Elle confirms that Modern Lovers “has the smart, cool sensibility of Straub’s other novels,” and promises that “you’re sure to love this one just as much.”
