SUMMARY:Seminary Co-Op In Conversation with Emily Gray Tedrowe
DESCRIPTION:Rebecca Makkai will discuss her new novel I Have Some Questions for You. She will be joined in conversation by Emily Gray Tedrowe. \nThis event will be held at the Seminary Co-op. At this time\, masks are required for in-store events.  \nRegister HERE \nAbout the book: Set in the woods of New Hampshire\, this transfixing new novel follows a film professor and podcaster forced to reckon with her past – and reexamine the murder of her high school classmate. Though podcaster Bodie Kane spends her days researching old Hollywood\, and the disenfranchised women spat out by the studio system\, she is content to forget her own past—the family tragedy that marred her adolescence\, her four largely miserable years at a New Hampshire boarding school\, and the 1995 murder of a classmate\, Thalia Keith. The circumstances surrounding Thalia’s death and the conviction of the school’s athletic trainer\, Omar Evans\, are the subject of intense fascination online\, yet Bodie prefers—needs—to let sleeping dogs lie. But when Granby invites her back to teach a two-week course\, Bodie finds herself inexorably drawn to the case and its increasingly apparent flaws. In their rush to convict Omar\, did the police overlook other suspects? Is the real killer still out there? As she falls down the very rabbit hole she was so determined to avoid\, Bodie begins to wonder if she wasn’t as much of an outsider at Granby as she’d thought—if\, perhaps\, back in 1995\, she knew something that might have held the key to solving the case. I Have Some Questions for You is both a page-turner that will have readers racing to the end\, and a profound\, deeply felt novel that interrogates our cultural obsession with true crime and violence against women. \nAbout the author: Rebecca Makkai’s last novel\, The Great Believers\, was a finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award; it was the winner of the ALA Carnegie Medal\, the Stonewall Book Award\, the Clark Prize\, and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize; and it was chosen as one of the Ten Best Books of 2018 by The New York Times. Her other books are the novels The Borrower and The Hundred-Year House\, and the collection Music for Wartime—four stories from which appeared in The Best American Short Stories. A 2022 Guggenheim Fellow\, Rebecca is on the MFA faculties of the University of Nevada\, Reno at Lake Tahoe and Northwestern University\, and is Artistic Director of StoryStudio Chicago. \nAbout the interlocutor: Emily Gray Tedrowe is the author of three novels\, most recently The Talented Miss Farwell.

Each ticket comes with a copy of her new book! You can purchase tickets below. \nABOUT THE BOOK \nNamed a Most Anticipated Book of 2023 by TIME\, NPR\, The Seattle Times\, Good Housekeeping\, Today.com\, Southern Living\, and CrimeReads \nThe riveting new novel from the author of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist The Great Believers \nA successful film professor and podcaster\, Bodie Kane is content to forget her past—the family tragedy that marred her adolescence\, her four largely miserable years at a New Hampshire boarding school\, and the murder of her former roommate\, Thalia Keith\, in the spring of their senior year. Though the circumstances surrounding Thalia’s death and the conviction of the school’s athletic trainer\, Omar Evans\, are hotly debated online\, Bodie prefers—needs—to let sleeping dogs lie. \nBut when the Granby School invites her back to teach a course\, Bodie is inexorably drawn to the case and its increasingly apparent ?aws. In their rush to convict Omar\, did the school and the police overlook other suspects? Is the real killer still out there? As she falls down the very rabbit hole she was so determined to avoid\, Bodie begins to wonder if she wasn’t as much of an outsider at Granby as she’d thought—if\, perhaps\, back in 1995\, she knew something that might have held the key to solving the case. \nIn I Have Some Questions for You\, award-winning author Rebecca Makkai has crafted her most irresistible novel yet: a stirring investigation into collective memory and a deeply felt examination of one woman’s reckoning with her past\, with a trans?xing mystery at its heart.

Rebecca Makkai’s last novel\, The Great Believers\, was a finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award; it was the winner of the ALA Carnegie Medal\, the Stonewall Book Award\, the Clark Prize\, and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize; and it was chosen as one of the Ten Best Books of 2018 by The New York Times. Her other books are the novels The Borrower and The Hundred-Year House\, and the collection Music for Wartime – four stories from which appeared in The Best American Short Stories. A 2022 Guggenheim Fellow\, Rebecca is on the MFA faculties of the University of Nevada\, Reno at Lake Tahoe and Northwestern University\, and is Artistic Director of StoryStudio Chicago. \nA successful film professor and podcaster\, Bodie Kane is content to forget her past–the family tragedy that marred her adolescence\, her four largely miserable years at a New Hampshire boarding school\, and the 1995 murder of a classmate\, Thalia Keith. Though the circumstances surrounding Thalia’s death and the conviction of the school’s athletic trainer\, Omar Evans\, are the subject of intense fascination online\, Bodie prefers – needs – to let sleeping dogs lie. \nBut when The Granby School invites her back to teach a two-week course\, Bodie finds herself inexorably drawn to the case and its increasingly apparent flaws. In their rush to convict Omar\, did the school and the police overlook other suspects? Is the real killer still out there? As she falls down the very rabbit hole she was so determined to avoid\, Bodie begins to wonder if she wasn’t as much of an outsider at Granby as she’d thought – if\, perhaps\, back in 1995\, she knew something that might have held the key to solving the case. \nOne of the most acclaimed contemporary American writers\, Rebecca Makkai reinvents herself with each of her brilliant works of fiction. Both a transfixing mystery and a deeply felt examination of one woman’s reckoning with her past\, I Have Some Questions for You is her finest achievement yet. \nLacy Crawford is the author of fiction and nonfiction\, including the satire Early Decisionand the memoir Notes on a Silencing\, a New York Times Editors’ Choice that was named best of summer by Time\, People\, and Real Simple. Her literary journalism includes interviews and profiles of Frank Conroy\, Reynolds Price\, Geoffrey Wolff\, and Shirley Hazzard.

Though the circumstances surrounding Thalia’s death and the conviction of the school’s athletic trainer\, Omar Evans\, are hotly debated online\, Bodie prefers—needs—to let sleeping dogs lie. \nBut when the Granby School invites her back to teach a course\, Bodie is inexorably drawn to the case and its increasingly apparent ?aws. In their rush to convict Omar\, did the school and the police overlook other suspects? Is the real killer still out there? As she falls down the very rabbit hole she was so determined to avoid\, Bodie begins to wonder if she wasn’t as much of an outsider at Granby as she’d thought—if\, perhaps\, back in 1995\, she knew something that might have held the key to solving the case. \nIn I Have Some Questions for You\, award-winning author Rebecca Makkai has crafted her most irresistible novel yet: a stirring investigation into collective memory and a deeply felt examination of one woman’s reckoning with her past\, with a trans?xing mystery at its heart.
