- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 31 Jan, 2026 at 02:00 pm

Check out this starred Publisher's Weekly review: "Beilin’s exhilarating second novel (after Revenge of the Scapegoat) portrays a writer’s struggle to progress with her work after eye surgery. Beilin employs a host of narrative tricks to reflect her unsettled state, including sudden time shifts, a dose of metafiction, and Oulipian constraints such as Cumin’s rewriting of a passage from Shusaku Endo’s novel The Sea and Poison without using any of the letters from the word uterus. Above all its tricks, this rewarding and uncompromising novel is distinguished by its deliriously wild writing. It’s impossible not to be swept up in Beilin’s wake."

Come get swept up in Beilin's wake with us! We are not only huge fans--Caren and Gayle may actually be cousins, and will be meeting for the first time. Be part of this family reunion!
