About this Event

Book Launch: Jess Row presents Storyknife

In conversation with Lincoln Michel

Guggenheim Fellow and a Whiting Writers Award-winning author Jess Row launches Storyknife, a funny, troubling, indelible look into a culture whose rituals and expectations are dissolving into thin air. In his first story collection in fifteen years, Row evokes white America—specifically liberal, educated white Northeasterners—awkwardly and hilariously poised on the precipice of cultural and global collapse. Using surgical precision, biting irony, and formal experimentation, Row pierces through the stories white America tells itself—and the narrative structures that make them seem natural, inevitable, and true. Sharply constructed and death-defying, Row reads from and discusses the book with Lincoln Michel, author of Metallic Realms, before an audience Q&A and signing.
