For his first reading and autographing of his new novel EVERYTHING IS BORROWED, Nathaniel Popkin will appear in the Philadelphia Author Events series at the Philadelphia Free Library on May 10. He'll be joined by Mary Morris, the best-selling author whose latest book is Gateway to the Moon.
Both books center on the importance of place and the way the past affects the present.
In Everything Is Borrowed, a modern-day architect is sent into a career and spiritual crisis by a downtown building site that calls up echoes of the past--both the city's past, teeming with strange characters, and the protagonist's own history, aching with guilt. In Gateway to the Moon, a young man in a poverty-stricken New Mexico town goes to work for a newly arrived Jewish family, provoking an exploration of the shared roots of Spanish and Jewish immigrants as far back as the 15th century.
Thursday, May 10, 7:30 p.m.
