- **Event Name**: Powell's Presents: Larissa Pham in Conversation With Kimberly King Parsons
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 13 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Discipline (Random House) is a taut, electrifying debut about a woman forced to confront unsettling truths about herself, her past, and the life she rebuilt following a ruinous affair with her former mentor — from Larissa Pham, a "lit world phenom" (Harper's Bazaar). 

I have the sense that something is being drawn between us. Not drawn as in line but as in arrow pulled back. Yet I don't know which of us holds the bow, and which of us faces the arrow. 

Christine is on tour for her novel, a revenge fantasy based on a real-life relationship gone bad with an older professor ten years prior. Now on the road, she's seeking answers — about how to live a good life and what it means to make art — through intimate conversations with strangers, past lovers, and friends. But when the antagonist of her novel — her old painting professor — reaches out in a series of sly communiqués after years of silence to tell her that he's read her book, Christine must reckon with what it means to lose the reins of a narrative she wrote precisely to maintain control. When her professor invites her to join him at his house, on a remote island off the coast of Maine, their encounter threatens to change the very foundations of her life as she's imagined it.

A pristine and provocative high-wire act toggling the fictions we construct for ourselves just to survive and the possibilities that lie beyond them, Discipline launches a spellbinding inquiry into the nature of art-making and rigor, intimacy and attention, punishment and release.

Pham will be joined in conversation by Kimberly King Parsons, author of We Were the Universe.
