Behind the Book with Jessica Shattuck

at the Jill Perelman Pavilion at West Park

The New York Times bestselling author of "The Women in the Castle" shares her new book "Last House." Registration is required for this free event.

Spanning multiple generations and nearly eighty years, Last House tells the story of one American family during an age of grand ideals and even greater downfalls. Set in the 1950s and 1960s, this is an emotional tour de force that digs deeply into questions of inheritance and what we owe each other.

Jessica Shattuck is the New York Times bestselling author of The Women in the Castle; The Hazards of Good Breeding, a New York Times Notable Book and finalist for the PEN/Winship Award; and Perfect Life. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times, The New Yorker, Glamour, Mother Jones, and Wired, among other publications.

This special event will take place at the Jill Perelman Pavilion, located at West Park. Book sales and signing will follow the conversation. Registration is required for this free event.
