Join us for a special 5 p.m. event with Writers' Workshop alum A.M. Homes, who will read from her latest novel, The Unfolding. "A dazzling portrait of a family—and a country—in flux. A story about what happens when truths that once seemed self-evident turn out to be neither self-evident nor even true. A.M. Homes has perfectly captured an America as it lurches toward freak-out, and a family as it shreds the lies it's been living by. The Unfolding is hilarious and shocking and heartbreaking and just a little bit deranged—in other words, it's a book that feels like what it feels like to be alive right now." —Nathan Hill

A.M. Homes is the author of 13 books, among them the best-selling memoir The Mistress' Daughter; the novels This Book Will Save Your Life, The End of Alice, and Jack; and the short story collections Days of Awe, The Safety of Objects, and Things You Should Know. She also writes for film and television and teaches in the Creative Writing Program at Princeton University.
