Check the Inprint website for updates or contact the Inprint office at 713.521.2026 Dear Friends, Each edition of the Inprint Margarett Root Brown Reading Series is unique, the result of work, magic, and luck. Among our obsessions, we present great writers with new books—this year, Jennifer Egan, Nathan Englander, Aminatta Forna, Nicole Krauss, Claire Messud, and Kevin Prufer. We also, as we enter our 37th season, want to keep it fresh, with at least some marvelous writers we’ve never featured (and have wanted to), such as Paul Auster, and some, such as Samanta Schweblin, who are important international voices. We want each lineup to somehow embrace and reflect the rich diversity of Houston, with extraordinary authors such as Rigoberto González, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Viet Thanh Nguyen. And finally, we very much want each evening to be memorable and accessible, putting literature center stage at some of the city’s top performance venues. Like mad scientists, we hope this concoction will delight and astonish. Of course, none of it would be possible without you—thank you for joining us on the journey. We look forward to sharing the adventure of this new season. See you at the readings.

NICOLE KRAUSS, according to The New York Times, is “one of Nicole America’s most important novelists.” NPR’s Fresh Air calls her “a fiction pioneer… giving readers the thrill of seeing the novel stretched into amorphous new shapes.” Her bestselling novel Great House was a finalist for both the National Book Award and Krauss the Orange Prize, and The History of Love, also an international goni riskin bestseller, won the William Saroyan Prize and France’s Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger. She will read from her new novel Forest Dark. Publishers Weekly, in a starred review writes, “Krauss’s Cullen Theater, elegant, provocative, and mesmerizing novel is her best yet…. Vivid, intelligent, and often humorous, this novel is a fascinating Wortham Center tour de force.” Philip Roth hails it as “a brilliant novel. I am full 501 Texas Avenue of admiration.” In 2007 Krauss was named one of Granta’s “Best Young American Novelists” and in 2010 one of The New Yorker’s General admission tickets $5 “20 Under 40.” Her work has been translated into more than 35 on sale Tuesday, September 5, 2017 at inprinthouston.org languages.

  • The Strangers
    Common world Lucy Hannah One of the many joys of reading is that of being transported to another world, far from our own. When, in 2011, the judges of the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize gathered in Sydney, many hours were spent deciding the overall winner, but a significant amount of time was also spent with the five regional judges swapping insights and shedding light on the contexts of work coming out of their respective regions – Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Canada and Europe, and the Pacific. The overall winner of the prize was a powerful novel set in post-civil war Sierra Leone, The Memory of Love, by Aminatta Forna. As an observer to this conversation, I was struck by how much I had missed in my own reading of the books, particularly those set in the Caribbean and the wider Pacific region. It also highlighted for me the impor- tance of access to the stories themselves, both locally and globally. Later, as a judge for the EBRD (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development) Literature Prize in 2018, I walked around London’s bookshops out of curi- osity to see how many of our shortlisted fictional works in translation to English were on offer in major bookstores – very few, and usually sitting on an out-of-the-way shelf, beyond the eyeline of shoppers. As readers, we are well aware that literature offers us a chance to remember that, as Jean Rhys observes in her Caribbean and European modernist classic, Wide Sargasso Sea, ‘there’s always the other side… always.’ Of course, there is also the problem of stories which get stuck in the margins, when they have the potential to alter how we see the world, in the spirit of what the Indian author, Kiran Desai, said of The Memory of 1 Love: ‘it delivers us to a common centre, no matter where we happen to have been born.’ For writers lucky enough to live in a place with a healthy publishing infrastructure, their imagined worlds have a chance to reach and engage readers far beyond their country’s borders.

  • The Dutch House Ann Patchett
    AUSTRALIA SEPTEMBER 2019 The Dutch House Ann Patchett A masterpiece from the Orange Prize-winning, New York Times number one bestselling author of Commonwealth and Bel Canto: a story of love, family, sacrifice, and the power of place Description Danny Conroy grows up in the Dutch House, a lavish folly in small-town Pennsylvania taken on by his property developer father. Though his father is distant and his mother is absent, Danny has his beloved sister Maeve: Maeve, with her wall of black hair, her delicacy, her brilliance. Life is comfortable and coherent, played out under the watchful eyes of the house's former owners in the frames of their oil paintings, or under the cover of the draperies around the window seat in Maeve's room. Then one day their father brings Andrea home: Andrea, small and neat, a dark hat no bigger than a saucer pinned over a twist of her fair hair. Though they cannot know it, Andrea's advent to the Dutch House sows the seed of the defining loss of Danny and Maeve's lives. Her arrival will exact a banishment: a banishment whose reverberations will echo for the rest of their lives. For all that the world is open to him, for all that he can accumulate, for all that life is full, Danny and his sister are drawn back time and again to the place they can never enter, knocking in vain on the locked door of the past. For behind the mystery of their own enforced exile is that of their mother's self-imposed one: an absence more powerful than any presence they have known.

Gerald Corrigan Conference Center | 113 W. 60th Street Panelists: Alice McDermott National Book Award-Winning Novelist and Author of Charming Billy, After This, and Someone Thomas Lynch Undertaker, Poet, Essayist and Author of The Good Funeral: Death, Grief and the Community of Care (with Thomas G. Long) and The Sin-Eater: A Breviary JAMES McCARTIN: Good evening. Welcome to Fordham. I am Jim McCartin, Director of the Fordham Center on Religion and Culture. I have to say that it is a particular thrill for me tonight to welcome here all of you, to be part of this conversation between the two very best people I could think of to discuss our mortal end. It is a topic that, I have to admit, I can never get enough of. It was at the tender age of eight that I began one of my still-favorite pastimes, which is to say, scouring the obituaries. In my perhaps somewhat peculiar point of view as a fully grown adult now, I contend that there are few things more satisfying than a proper funeral. Some will say — and perhaps McDermott and Lynch will agree with this — that my interest in death and in its many permutations runs deep in my Irish American heritage. But for me I gather it is something more than just the peculiarities of my ancestral identity. In studying the death notices as a young kid, what I was really trying to figure out, I think, was how the families of my hometown of Troy, New York, formed webs of relation with one another — how they were connected, who they married or loved, what institutions and organization formed them into the ordinary and sometimes, rarely, extraordinary people that they were.

Philippe Codde August 2011 Engels” by Thomas Joos Acknowledgments In the acknowledgments of his latest novel, Gary Shteyngart says that “writing a book is real hard and lonely, let me tell you.” I don’t mean to steal his thunder, nor to underestimate the efforts required to write a novel comparable to his fiction, but writing a thesis on his books has been equally hard and lonely. Especially in the summertime. Let me tell you. Therefore, I would like to thank a number of people for helping me out or reminding me, once in a while, that I was still alive. First and foremost, my thanks go to my promotor prof. dr. Philippe Codde for his valuable feedback and for introducing me to Jewish American fiction in the first place. Also, I want to thank my parents, my brother Dieter and sister Eveline for supporting me, knowingly or unknowingly, from this world or another, at times when my motivation reached rock bottom. Finally, a big thank you to my closest friends, who made this 4-year trip at Ghent University definitely worthwile.

  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.
