Book Talk: Wil Medearis & Rachel Lyon

Join novelists Wil Medearis and Rachel Lyon for a conversation about gentrifying Brooklyn and the collision, collusion and conflicts between the worlds of art, real estate, the wealthy, the hipsters and the people of color they displace.

Medearis’ first novel, Restoration Heights, is the story of a young artist, a missing woman, and the tendrils of wealth and power that tether Brooklyn’s art scene to Manhattan’s elite. For fans of Jonathan Lethem and Richard Price. “An atmospheric and poetic noir debut.” (Lisa Unger)

Rachel Lyon’s debut novel, Self-Portrait With Boy, also set in the context of a gentrifying neighborhood, explores what happens to bonds and relationships when a young photographer has to choose between advancing her career and protecting a woman she has come to love.
