Writers’ Workshop graduate Lindsay Stern will read from one of the most anticipated novels of 2019, The Study of Animal Languages, followed by a brief conversation with Charles D’Ambrosio. "Artful and astute, funny and unnerving, The Study of Animal Languages brilliantly captures how easily we can mistake our impressions of the world, and the models we make of them, for the world itself. A knockout."—Paul Harding

Stern is the recipient of a Watson Fellowship and an Amy Award from Poets & Writers magazine. She is currently pursuing a PhD in comparative literature at Yale University.
