Bowlaway book cover

The award-winning and beloved author Elizabeth McCracken will read from her new novel, Bowlaway.  "Elizabeth McCracken's Bowlaway is so deliciously weird and wise and alive. It's a page-turner set in a bowling alley, a grief-haunted and hope-raddled book, and a gloriously fresh paean to the 'perversity of love.' I loved it —what a generous pour of humor and sorrow and wonder." —Karen Russell
