Join us for an exclusive conversation with acclaimed author Robert Stone. Robert, a winner of the National Book Award and two-time Pulitzer Prize nominee, returns with Death of The Black-Haired Girl, his first novel in ten years. Death of The Black-Haired Girl traces the story of a cynical professor and his affair with a brilliant, passionate young student. With his signature blend of uncompromising insight and deft characterization, Robert examines the unintended damage people to themselves and each other. Robert will speak about his writing and answer audience questions!

Joining Robert for the evening will be Rachel Kushner, author of this year’s widely acclaimed novel The Flamethrowers, heralded by James Wood as “scintillatingly alive.” You won’t want to miss out on this chat between two contemporary masters of fiction.
