Two women whose work focuses on the small details of making a career and a good life in conversation about time, work, diary-keeping, and the meditative nature of memoir-writing. With references to Ovid, Annie Dillard, Studs Terkel, and Mary Oliver, Nina MacLaughlin’s Hammer Head takes us on a journey from job to job–building a wall, remodeling a kitchen, gut-renovating a house–while illuminating the deep sense of meaning to be found in manual labor. In The Folded Clock, Heidi Julavits explodes the diary-form into a moving meditation on time and self, youth and aging, friendship and romance, faith and fate, and art and ambition. Nina and Heidi will be joined in conversation by Rachel Fershleiser.
(via 5/3, 7pm Nina MacLaughlin & Heidi Julavits, with Rachel Fershleiser | Community Bookstore)
