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.
