Olivia Wolfgang-Smith’s MUTUAL INTEREST celebrates its paperback launch at Hive Mind Books with a reading & craft night!
About this Event

Join us at Hive Mind Books to celebrate the paperback launch of Olivia Wolfgang-Smith’s Mutual Interest, “a queer take on the classic Gilded Age historical novel” (Town and Country). After a brief reading, inspired by the book's characters, we'll craft bookmarks emblazoned with our own personal monograms. Supplies will be provided!

Olivia Wolfgang-Smith is the author of the novels Mutual Interest (2025) and Glassworks, which was longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize and named a Best Book of the Year by NPR, Apple, and Good Housekeeping. She is a 2024 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellow in Fiction and lives in Brooklyn with her partner.
