The Book Stall Presents: Rebecca Makkai

Rebecca Makkai: I Have Some Questions For You (An In-Store Event)

We are delighted to host award-winning author (and Book Stall favorite) Rebecca Makkai, discussing and signing copies of her brilliant new novel, I Have Some Questions For You. 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. In Makkai’s own words, it’s “the literary feminist boarding school murder mystery you didn’t know you needed.” This program is free and open to the public. We ask that you buy your copies of I Have Some Questions for You from The Book Stall  if you plan on entering the book-signing queue.

Tattered Cover Presents: Rebecca Makkai In Conversation with Alexander Lumans

Tattered Cover is honored to host Rebecca Makkai at our Colfax location on March 14th at 6pm. She will be on tour for her new book I Have Some Questions For You. This is a ticketed event. Each ticket comes with a copy of her new book! You can purchase tickets below.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2023 by TIME, NPR, The Seattle Times, Good Housekeeping, Today.com, Southern Living, and CrimeReads

The riveting new novel from the author of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist The Great Believers

A 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.

But 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.

In 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. Timely, hypnotic, and populated with a cast of unforgettable characters, I Have Some Questions for You is at once a compulsive page-turner and a literary triumph.
