Jennifer Croft may be best known as one of our foremost literary translators, bringing such acclaimed international authors as Olga Tokarczuk and Urszula Honek to English-speaking audiences. She’s also gained acclaim for her own writing, including her novel The Extinction of Irina Rey and her hybrid coming-of-age memoir Homesick, called “stunning and surprising” by the New York Times. Now Croft follows up with a second memoir, detailing her lifelong wanderlust and her habit of both collecting and sending postcards along the way. Notes on Postcards utilizes an innovative format to delve into universal topics: love, loss, parenthood, communication, and connection. We’re thrilled to host the memoir’s official pub-day launch at City Lights, featuring Croft in conversation with Britta Stromeyer. Doors at 6:30pm.
