A Conversation About Memoirs with Kim Adrian and Martha Cooley

For the launch of THE TWENTY-SEVENTH LETTER OF THE ALPHABET, Kim Adrian is joined by Martha Cooley, author of GUESSWORK: A RECKONING WITH LOSS

Adrian’s memoir tells of a daughter’s struggle to face the Medusa of generational trauma without turning to stone. “Her glossary is strangely gripping, with a momentum pulling the reader in and through. The result is whimsical, even darkly funny at times, brimming with compassion, terribly sad and deeply loving. Memoir readers should not miss this singular offering.” (Shelf Awareness)

Kim Adrian is the author of SOCK and the editor of THE SHELL GAME.

Martha Cooley is the author of the national bestseller The Archivist and Thirty¬Three Swoons. The Archivist was a New York Times Notable Book and a New and Noteworthy paperback. Cooley is currently a contributing editor at A Public Space and a professor of English at Adelphi University,
