When he wakes up in Field of Reeds Center for Memory Reconstruction with no idea how he got there\, the therapists tell him he was a victim in a terrorist bombing by Khadija Banks\, the pioneer of memory editing technology turned revolutionary. A bombing which shredded the memory archives of all its victims\, including his husband Gabe.Thrust into reconstructions of his memories exploded from the fragments that survived the blast\, Fox tries to rebuild his life\, his marriage and himself. But he quickly realises his world is changing\, unreliable\, and echoing around itself over and over.As he unearths endless cycles of meeting Gabe\, falling in love and breaking up\, Fox digs deep into his past\, his time in the refugee nation of Aaru\, and the exact nature of his relationship with Khadija. Because\, in a world tearing itself apart to forget all its sadness\, saving the man he loves might be the key to saving us all. \n\n\n\nNathan Tavares is a writer from Boston\, Massachusetts.

SUMMARY:How to Make Your Dialogue Really Talk with Benjamin Roesch
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Benjamin Roesch (Fiction\, January 2016) \n\n\n\nCourse Description: \n\n\n\nWe talk to other people all the time. Speech is at the center of our lives. Which begs the question: why is writing dialogue in fiction SO hard? And why does it so often fall flat or feel fake? \n\n\n\nIn this 2-hour\, interactive workshop\, we’ll dig into what makes dialogue tick. We’ll drink from the keg of dialogue masters like Ernest Hemingway and Judy Blume who can help us mere mortals improve our craft. Participants should come ready to write\, think\, discover\, and share. When it’s over\, you’ll have some new tools and a boosted sense of confidence so you can get back to your stories and make your dialogue really…talk.

SUMMARY:Lyz Lenz presents This American Ex-Wife
DESCRIPTION:Join Lyz Lenz (Fiction\, June 2011) at Magers & Quinn Booksellers as she presents This American Ex-Wife: How I Ended My Marriage and Started My Life in conversation with Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStudies show that nearly 70 percent of divorces are initiated by women—women who are tired\, fed up\, exhausted\, and unhappy. We’ve all seen how the media portrays divorcées: sad\, lonely\, drowning their sorrows in a bottle of wine. Lyz Lenz is one such woman whose life fell apart after she reached a breaking point in her twelve-year marriage. But she refused to take part in that tired narrative and decided to flip the script on divorce. \n\n\n\nIn this exuberant and unapologetic book\, Lenz makes an argument for the advantages of getting divorced\, framing it as a practical and effective solution for women to take back the power they are owed. Weaving reportage with sociological research and literature with popular culture along with personal stories of coming together and breaking up\, Lenz creates a kaleidoscopic and poignant portrait of American marriage today. She argues that the mechanisms of American power\, justice\, love\, and gender equality remain deeply flawed\, and that marriage\, like any other cultural institution\, is due for a reckoning. A raucous argument for acceptance\, solidarity\, and collective female refusal\, This American Ex-Wife takes readers on a riveting ride—while pointing us all toward a life that is a little more free. \n\n\n\nMasks are required for this event. \n\n\n\nLyz Lenz is a journalist and the author of God Land and Belabored. She has written for Insider\, The New York Times\, Marie Claire\, and The Washington Post. Lenz also writes the newsletter Men Yell at Me about the intersection of politics and personhood in red-state America. She lives in Iowa with her two kids. \n\n\n\nDara Moskowitz Grumdahl is one of the most awarded magazine writers in the country\, with six James Beard Award wins (and 15 nominations)-the so-called Oscars of food world-and another 6 CRMAs\, known as the Pulitzers of magazines. She grew up in New York City\, little aware of her destiny: to write about the quirks and passions\, the foods and cocktails\, the people and places of Minnesota. She started her work life as a 13-year-old restaurant dishwasher and\, after coming to Minnesota to attend Carleton College\, became City Pages’ restaurant critic in 1997. Since then she has worked as a staff writer\, columnist\, and critic at Mpls.St.Paul Magazine\, Delta Sky\, Minnesota Monthly\, Gourmet\, Saveur\, Food & Wine\, Experience Life\, Bon Appétit\, and other publications. For eight years she hosted a radio show on WCCO called “Off the Menu\,” and she is a regular guest on Minnesota Public Radio. She lives in south Minneapolis with a dog the size of a cat\, a cat the size of a cat\, and two children who are much bigger than cats and want to be left out of it. She would like everyone to know that Minneapolis is one of the best places in the world\, as long as you have a lot of pairs of boots and love snow\, which she does.

SUMMARY:Project Management for Poets and Writers\, with Michael Mercurio
DESCRIPTION:Any project can be daunting at the start. Some projects are still daunting in the middle\, especially when they have a lot of moving parts — or shifting scenes! So how do you make sure that your writing stays on track towards your goal? Figuring out a project management plan can set you up for success and can make even the biggest projects seem less unwieldy and intimidating. This workshop will walk you through the process of setting “SMART” goals (Specific\, Measurable\, Achievable\, Relevant\, and Time-bound)\, “chunking out” your project into manageable pieces\, setting a realistic timeline\, and sustaining all of this work with the development of good habits. You’ll also look at some fantastic project management tools\, both analog and digital\, that you may choose to use in support of your project. Workshop attendees should be prepared to talk about a project they’re finding difficult to begin or one already in process that they need help organizing and managing.  In-person/Hybrid. \n\n\n\nMichael Mercurio (Poetry\, January 2017) lives and writes in the Pioneer Valley\, where he serves on the steering committee for the Tell It Slant Poetry Festival (formerly Amherst Poetry Festival) and is the associate editor of the Naugatuck River Review. A graduate of the Lesley University low-res MFA program\, his poetry has been published in Rust + Moth\, Crab Creek Review\, and The Indianapolis Review\, and is forthcoming in Sugar House Review and Palette Poetry. Michael also has had critical reviews published in The Lily Poetry Review. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will also be available for online participants.
