Julie Orringer will read from her new novel, Luna, Phoenix, Queen, which was named a Kirkus Prize Finalist. Described as "a novel about varieties of infidelity, the provenance of a literary masterpiece, and the power of storytelling to shape identity and destiny," Luna, Phoenix, Queen is praised by Meg Wolitzer of The New York Times as "Thrilling," while Heller McAlpin of NPR says: "I was so taken with Luna, Phoenix, Queen that I read it twice—in part to make sure it was really as good as I thought. It struck me as just about perfect both times. . . . Each chapter, full of drama and incident, packs the power of a well-crated short story. . . . Masterfully plotted, gorgeously moving."Julie Orringer is the author of the novel The Invisible Bridge and the award-winning short story collection How to Breathe Underwater, which was a New York Times Notable Book. She is the winner of The Paris Review‘s Plimpton Prize for Fiction and the recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, Stanford University, and the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at the New York Public Library. She lives in Brooklyn.
