Dori Ostermiller and Jennifer Rosner present their latest books Tues, Sept. 14 at 7 pm

09/14/2010 7:00 pm

This evening offers a mix of fiction and memoir.

Dori Ostermiller will read from her new novel Outside the Ordinary World, about difficult marriages past and present.  As a landscape painter in a deteriorating marriage slides toward an affair, she recalls her own parents' troubled marriage and the pain it inflicted on them and on her.

Jennifer Rosner will present her memoir If a Tree Falls: A Family's Quest to Hear and Be Heard.  In it Rosner chronicles the birth of her two daughters, both (quite unexpectedly) born deaf. Rosner begins a quest to unearth the history of deafness in her family, which eventually leads her to discover deaf ancestors in Eastern Europe.
