New novel brings to life a small Long Island town
Brooklyn BookBeat: NY-Based Author to Speak in Cobble Hill
New Yorker Christopher Bollen brings his personal life into his fiction writing as he ventures into the world of Long Island in his newest book, “Orient.”
“Orient” is now on sale, and Bollen will visit BookCourt in Cobble Hill for a launch event on May 27.
A perilous clash of cultures — between natives and newcomers, wind-beaten lifers and wealthy interlopers — has come to define many corners of contemporary Long Island. Now, in “Orient,” Bollen captures a North Fork town in a moment of crisis, when peril suddenly gives way to panic.
