About this Event

Kyle McCarthy launches her new novel, IMMERSIONS, on the Ivy patio in conversation with Nate Brown!

Taut and spellbinding, IMMERSIONS follows the aftermath of a celebrated dancer's abrupt decision to quit her company and join an enclosed convent in France, and her younger sister's obsessive conviction that her sister's ex-husband is responsible.

With art, family, and questions of desire front-and-center, this is a novel you'll be thinking about long after you read it-- and a conversation that's sure to stick with us all long after the event. We'll see you there!

Order IMMERSIONS here!

Kyle McCarthy is the author of the novel Everyone Knows How Much I Love You, and her fiction and essays have appeared in Best American Short Stories, American Short Fiction, n+1, and elsewhere. A graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, she lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Nate Brown’s stories, essays, and reviews have appeared in One Story, the Iowa Review, Mississippi Review, the Los Angeles Review of Books, the Rumpus, Electric Literature, Publisher’s Weekly, LitHub, and elsewhere. He is editor-at-large of the award-winning literary journal American Short Fiction in Austin, TX and is a senior lecturer in the University Writing Program at Johns Hopkins University.
