We are so happy to welcome acclaimed writer Peter Orner back to The Book Stall! Since his 2001 debut, Esther Stories, his wide-ranging body of work has been met with rapturous acclaim, and he’s been hailed “one of the most distinctive voices of his generation.” The author of seven books, Orner has been a finalist for a slew of awards, including the PEN/Hemingway, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, the NYPL Young Lions Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the PEN Award for the Art of the Essay. Now he delivers his first novel in fifteen years—a tender, comic, and moving family drama set within a real-life cold case, THE GOSSIP COLUMNIST’S DAUGHTER. Peter will be in conversation with author Chris Abani.
