  CPL Presents: Neel Mukherjee, author of CHOICE

  Main Library, Lecture Hall, 449 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02138

  Join NEEL MUKHERJEE, author of the Man Booker Prize-nominated novel The Lives of Others, for a reading from, and conversation about, his new novel Choice. A Professor of English at Harvard, Mukherjee has been called “one of the most original and talented authors working today” (NPR) and, in a pre-publication blurb, Tracy K. Smith called Choice “searing, poetic and beautifully brutal.” The novel is composed of three thematically linked sections, across which Mukherjee “showcases his ability to inhabit different perspectives” (Booklist). This event will be moderated by GRACE TALUSAN, author of the award-winning memoir, The Body Papers. Registration is required.
