Event Description

Time Flies. Time is Relative. Time waits for no-one. Or – as some physicists have recently posited, time is an illusion, with the past, present, and future existing all at once. You will definitely want to make time to come listen to these three authors who all have novel takes on time that are completely enthralling. In Shelley Wood’s juicy, smart-as-a-whip, and highly anticipated second novel, The Leap Year Gene, time almost literally stands still. Leap-year baby Kit McKinley ages just one year for every four and must be kept hidden from of eugenicists, drug companies, and the sensationalist media of the early 20th century. The past and the future co-exist in the same town – one 20 years earlier, one twenty years later – in co-joined valleys in The Other Valley, Scott Alexander Howard’s achingly beautiful and philosophically acute page turner of a debut. And in Yeji Y. Ham’s intense first novel, The Invisible Hotel, the past haunts the present as the long afterlife of the Korean War lingers in the characters’ lives. The protagonist Yewon’s escapes into another reality -- that of the mysterious hotel of the title -- during dreamtime, another dimension of time altogether.

Moderated by Zsuzsi Gartner
