Hermione Hoby will speak about her new novel, Virtue, with Boulder Book Store's Arsen Kashkashian and KGNU's Maeve Conran in a live recording of the Boulder Book Store and KGNU Radio Bookclub on Wednesday, September 29th at 6:30pm at Boulder Book Store.About the Book:
Arriving in New York City for an internship at an elite but fading magazine, Luca feels invisible: smart but not worldly, privileged but broke, and uncertain how to navigate a new era of social change. Among his peers is Zara, a young Black woman whose sharp wit and frank views on injustice create tension in the office. Luca is equally drawn to an attractive and wealthy white couple—a prominent artist and her filmmaker husband—whose lifestyle he finds alien and alluring. As summer arrives, Luca is swept up in the fever dream of their marriage, joining them at their beach house, and nurturing an infatuation both frustrating and dangerous. Only after he learns of a spectacular tragedy in the city he has left behind does he begin to realize the moral consequences of his allegiances.
In language at once lyrical and incisive, Hermione Hoby offers a clear-eyed, unsettling novel of the allure of privilege and the costs of complacency.
