Long-time Green Apple favorite Jesse Ball joins us for a special celebration of his latest novel, How to Set a Fire and Why.
Unlike a traditional reading, this one will heavily feature backgammon, which Jesse and his interlocutor will play while talking about his work. We'll also have several boards so anyone can play!
Praise for Jesse Ball:
“How to Set a Fire and Why is a rare and startling work. Days after I read it, I find that I can’t stop thinking about it, and what I’ve realized is that this is a book I will not forget. This is a harrowing, subtle, and absolutely electrifying novel.” —Emily St. John Mandel, bestselling author of Station Eleven
