Join guest host Amanda Uhle for a conversation with acclaimed writer Ben Markovits, whose new novel THE REST OF OUR LIVES was a finalist for the Booker Prize. The book is a triumphantly life-affirming road trip novel about marriage, middle-age, and a man at a crossroads in his life. He’s the author of eleven novels and his work has been published in The Guardian, Granta, The Paris Review, and The New York Times. Ben will be in Ann Arbor Friday, January 9, 6:30 pm for an event at the Ann Arbor District Library, in partnership with Literati Bookstore.
“Feels less like reading a novel and more like sitting in a car beside a dear friend as he navigates the road up ahead. A profoundly moving experience.” —Ann Patchett
“Deeply human…a beautifully quiet and devastating book.” —Sarah Jessica Parker
We’ll talk about mid-life and marriage, the great American road trip novel, and how sports and writing are an unlikely but important pairing.
