New novel explores connections between technology and human desire to love
Brooklyn BookBeat: Author to Speak in DUMBO on Sept. 16
Liz Moore, known for her novels “The Words of Every Song” and the much-acclaimed “Heft,” has recently published “The Unseen World” (W.W. Norton & Company), a novel that explores the complex bonds between a daughter and her father, spanning decades from the 1950s all the way to an imagined foreseeable future.
The book has already earned rave reviews from critics; Téa Obreht, the award-winning author of “The Tiger’s Wife,” says, “In sparse, urgent prose, Liz Moore delivers a staggeringly beautiful meditation on love, legacy and emotional necessities that make life worth living.”
Brooklynites will have a chance to hear Moore speak about her book on Sept. 16, when the author will appear at the powerHouse Arena in DUMBO (28 Adams St., 7 p.m.) for a joint book launch party with Alexandra Kleeman, author of “Intimations.”
