SUMMARY:Mona Awad in Conversation With Jeff VanderMeer
DESCRIPTION:Mona Awad’s We Love You\, Bunny (S&S/Marysue Rucci Books) is the highly anticipated follow-up to the viral sensation Bunny\, a brilliantly written\, laugh-out-loud funny\, dark\, and delirious novel set in the Bunny-verse — a world that Margaret Atwood declared “soooo genius.” In the cult classic novel Bunny\, Samantha Heather Mackey\, a lonely outsider student at a highly selective MFA program in New England\, was first ostracized and then seduced by a clique of creepy-sweet rich girls who call themselves “Bunny.” An invitation to the Bunnies’ Smut Salon leads Samantha down a dark rabbit hole (pun intended) into the violently surreal world of their off-campus workshops where monstrous creations are conjured with deadly and wondrous consequences. When We Love You\, Bunny opens\, Sam has just published her first novel to critical acclaim. But at a New England stop on her book tour\, her one-time frenemies\, furious at the way they’ve been portrayed\, kidnap her. Now a captive audience\, it’s her (and our) turn to hear the Bunnies’ side of the story. One by one\, they take turns holding the axe\, and recount the birth throes of their unholy alliance\, their discovery of their unusual creative powers — and the phantasmagoric adventure of conjuring their first creation. With a bound and gagged Sam\, we embark on a wickedly intoxicating journey into the heart of dark academia: a fairy tale slasher that explores the wonder and horror of creation itself. Not to mention the transformative powers of love and friendship\, Bunny. Frankenstein by way of Heathers\, We Love You\, Bunny is both a prequel and a sequel\, and an unabashedly wild and totally complete stand-alone novel. Open your hearts\, Bunny\, to another dazzlingly original and darkly hilarious romp in the Bunny-verse from the queen of the fever-dream\, Mona Awad. Awad will be joined in conversation by Jeff VanderMeer\, author of the Southern Reach series.

SUMMARY:Paradiso 17 with author Hannah Lillith Assadi
DESCRIPTION:Hannah Lillith Assadi\nWednesday March 25th\, 2026 @ 7:00PM – 8:00 PM\n\n\n\n\nNovelist Hannah Lillith Assadi visits the store for her latest book Paradiso 17\, inspired by the life of her late Palestinian father\, which follows one man’s restless search for home the world over\, as the pendulum of fate swings between loss and life\, grief and euphoria\, regret and hope. \nRegistration is not required\, but helps us anticipate audience size. If you’d like to RSVP\, please do so here! \n“There is something miraculous about Paradiso 17\, about the poetry that seems to guide every sentence of this exquisite novel. With stunning intimacy\, Hannah Lillith Assadi has crafted an unforgettable story about the many stunted afterlives of hyphenated belonging. In this book live some of the most complex characters I’ve read in a long time\, and a deeply nuanced exploration of exile as both event and inheritance.” —Omar El Akkad\, author of One Day\, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This \n“Paradiso 17 is remarkable. It’s a novel of unearthing\, a story of quiet explosions\, of memories lost and recovered. It’s urgent and necessary. Read it as an intimate family tale\, as mythos\, or as history—but read it\, read it\, read it.” —Rabih Alameddine\, author of The Wrong End of the Telescope \nAll his life\, exile has been the shadow stitched to the sole of Sufien’s shoe. \nBorn in Palestine on the precipice of 1948’s Nakba\, Sufien is forced to leave the only home he’s ever known\, the one on the hill with a beautiful blue door. This is the precise moment when time stops making sense. He spends the rest of his life propelled forward\, always on the way—although in search of what\, he is never quite sure. In the dusty\, oil-rich desert of Kuwait\, he meets his first love and decides he must leave his family. In a small Italian university town\, he spends his youth wrapped up in the sweet promise of the West and the forgetful assurance of wine. When life takes him to a gritty New York\, he discovers his true vocation and falls for a Jewish woman born into a wholly different world. Finally\, he finds himself recalled to the wild\, vast open skies of the desert\, in Arizona. \nSufien’s life spans friendships lost and maintained\, a stint selling leathers at a tanner’s stall\, the ineffable company of cats\, and the freedom of the open road\, the glowing pride of fatherhood\, Sufi myths\, prophetic dreams\, and visions of the afterlife—and always\, always\, no matter how far he chases joy\, the sweet\, treacherous song of a balcony urging him to fly\, to fall\, to fall. The lyrical pages of Paradiso 17 weave in and out of time and space\, beginning at the end and ending at the beginning. They are haunting\, haunted with grief\, struck through\, as Dante once wrote\, with “the arrow that the bow of exile / shoots first\,” and yet they throb with light—not just the light that Sufien sees as he approaches his own end\, but the brilliant light of a life lived. \nLike all of our dead\, Sufien still speaks\, the book begins. Listen\, this is his story. \nHannah Lillith Assadi\, a National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 honoree\, teaches fiction at the Columbia University School of the Arts and the Pratt Institute. She is the author of Sonora\, which received the Rosenthal Family Foundation Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and was a finalist for the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for Debut Fiction. Her second novel\, The Stars Are Not Yet Bells\, was a New Yorker and NPR best book of 2022. Raised in Arizona\, she lives in Brooklyn\, New York.
