NAHANT — The Public Library will be offering residents a rare glimpse into the minds of two best-selling authors, Curtis Sittenfeld and Gabrielle Zevin, on March 19.
The event, titled “Virtual Author Hour in Massachusetts,” kicks off at 7 p.m. on Zoom, and will be open to any community members interested in learning more about Zevin or Sittenfeld, who will go in-depth about the 20th anniversary of her bestselling novel, Prep, a coming-of-age tale set in the complex landscape of modern America.
The webinar is also being promoted by over 50 public libraries throughout Massachusetts.
Sittenfeld is the New York Times bestselling author of seven novels, including “Romantic Comedy,” “Rodham, Eligible,” “Prep,” “American Wife,” and “Sisterland.” As her fanbase continued to grow, her novels went on to be translated in 30 different languages. Her short stories have appeared in The New Yorker, The Washington Post Magazine, Esquire, and the “Best American Short Stories” (for which Sittenfeld also served as guest editor).
Her nonfiction works have appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Vanity Fair, and public radio’s This American Life.
Zevin is not just celebrated for being a popular Los Angeles-based writer, or having become a New York Times bestselling author, but is also recognized as an internationally bestselling author, who penned novels like “Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow.” She was the winner of Goodreads Choice Fiction award, and was also named Amazon’s Best Book of 2022, and the Best Book of the Year by Indigo, TIME, The Globe and Mail, and The New York Times.
