Acclaimed author Laura van den Berg (The Third Hotel, Find Me) presents State of Paradise, "a brilliant ghost story and a profoundly moving and atmospheric meditation on place, memory, and the very nature of reality..." (Mona Awad, author of Rouge). A ghostwriter for a famous thriller author returns to her mother's house in the Florida town where she grew up. As the summer heat sets in, she wrestles with family secrets and memories of her own troubled youth. Her sister spends a growing amount of time using MIND’S EYE, a virtual reality device provided to citizens of the town by ELECTRA, a tech company in South Florida. During a violent rainstorm, the sister goes missing for several days, and when she returns, sprawled on their mother’s lawn and speaking of another dimension, the writer is forced to investigate not only what happened to her sister and the other missing people but also the uncanny connections between ELECTRA, the famous author, and reality itself. Laura discusses her work, along with a reading and book signing.
