SUMMARY:Heart-Work | A Reading and Conversation with Author Roberta Silman
DESCRIPTION:In her second compelling collection of stories\, Heart-Work\, Great Barrington-based author Roberta Silman explores the intricacies of love\, the infinite surprises that exist within families\, and the yearning for guidance that can result in great leaps of the imagination. As she did in her first prize-winning collection\, Blood Relations\, Silman has created a group of unforgettable people who have something to tell us about how to negotiate the often dangerous shoals of daily life. \nThis program features a conversation between Roberta Silman and Matt Tannenbaum\, the longtime owner of The Bookstore & Get Lit Wine Bar in Lenox\, as well as a reading from Heart-Work. Following the program\, Roberta will be signing copies of Heart-Work and her other books\, available for sale from The Bookstore. \nRoberta Silman is the award-winning author of five novels\, two children’s books\, and two short story collections. She has been honored with Fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. Her stories have appeared in The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, McCall’s\, The American Scholar\, Virginia Quarterly Review\, among many others. Her criticism has appeared in The New York Times\, The Boston Globe\, and currently in ArtsFuse.org where she is a Senior Contributor. \n \n\nTICKETS ON SALE NOW: \n[maxbutton id=”1″ url=”https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/edithwharton/items/666445/?full-items=yes&flow=1365690″ text=”Book Here!” ] \nThursday\, October 23\, 5:30 – 6:30 pm\n$15 / $10 for Mount Members \nInterested in becoming a Member?
