Join us for the Literature Department’s Monthly Meeting: An Author Luncheon with Emily Nemens on Wednesday, March 4th! 📚✨
Writer, illustrator, editor, and educator, Emily is the acclaimed author of “The Cactus League” and the newly released “Clutch”. Her debut novel received widespread praise, and her latest book—already named one of The New York Times Book Review’s Editors’ Picks for Winter and one of Literary Hub’s Most Anticipated Books of 2026—explores the enduring bonds of friendship as five college friends reconnect decades later in Palm Springs. Through politics, parenthood, addiction, marriage, and aging, Clutch is a sweeping, heartfelt story about what it means to grow older—and grow together.
🕛 Catered lunch at 12PM
🕐 Program begins at 1PM
During the program, Emily will discuss her writing process, her journey from “The Cactus League” to “Clutch”, and more. A Q&A and book signing will follow. Watchung Booksellers will be on-site with both titles available for purchase—and all event book purchases include a complimentary Clutch branded friendship bracelet. 💫
