Join Chloe from Unity Books at Crafty Baker in Titirangi for a conversation on The Four Spent the Day Together by Chris Kraus
About this Event

Join Unity bookseller Chloe in conversation on this forthcoming novel from the exceptional, boundary-pushing author Chris Kraus. While we await the release of this novel, I recommend reading her epistolary work of auto-fiction, I. Because there's no conversation on Chris Kraus without venturing into this masterpiece.

I will send you a link to pre-order her new novel when it's available on the website in a few days.

“The intelligence and honesty and total originality of Chris Kraus make her work not just great but indispensable…I read everything Chris Kraus writes; she softens despair with her brightness, and with incredible humor, too.” —Rachel Kushner, author of Creation Lake


An unforgettable new novel from the “powerfully original” (Dwight Garner, The New York Times) author of the cult classic I Love Dick—a stark, witty journey into a fractured, violent America, culminating in the investigation of a teenage M**der on Minnesota’s Iron Range.


On the Iron Range of northern Minnesota, at the end of the last decade, three teenagers shot and killed an older acquaintance after spending the day with him. In a cold, depressed town, on the fringes of the so-called “meth community,” the three young people were quickly arrested and imprisoned.At the time of the M**der, Catt Greene and her husband, Paul Garcia, are living nearby in a house they’d bought years earlier as a summer escape from Los Angeles. Locked into a period of personal turmoil, moving between LA and Minnesota—between the art world and the urban poverty of Paul’s addiction therapist jobs, the rural poverty of the icy, depressed Iron Range—Catt turns away from her own life and towards the M**der case, which soon becomes an obsession. In her attempt to pierce through the brutality and despair surrounding the M**der and to understand the teenagers’ lives, Catt is led back to the idiosyncratic, aspirational lives of her parents in the working-class Bronx and small-town, blue-collar Milford, Connecticut.
