Join one of the world’s most visionary and canonical storytellers for the exclusive premiere launch event for her hotly anticipated new book, her first short story collection since 2014.
In 15 extraordinary stories—some of which have appeared in The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazine—Old Babes in the Wood explores the full breadth and depth of human experience, peering deeply into the heart of family relationships, marriage, loss and memory, and what it means to spend a life together.
