location: Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington, D.C., The United States
description: On Monday, January 9th, Myla is very excited to be reading at the Folger Library, in Washington, D.C. with Allegra Goodman and Monique Truong in an event sponsored by the PEN/Faulkner Society. The reading starts at 7:30, but get there early so that you can gawk at the Elizabethan Theater and pretend you're in a different era, wearing much less comfortable clothing.

“She has often felt that her outsides were too dull for her insides, that deep within her there was something better than what everyone else could see.”
Myla Goldberg, Bee Season

“As much as I admire and value intellectualism and experimentation, I've discovered that unless a book has a throbbing heart as well as a sexy brain, I feel like the story is a specimen in a sealed glass jar and not a living, breathing creature I want to take by the hand and talk to for hours on end.”
Myla Goldberg

“Miriam realizes she is a broken vessel, pieces of her scattered everywhere. She has been finding those pieces, in their many forms, and bringing them together so she can be whole again.”
Myla Goldberg
