The author of the critically acclaimed The Laughter--winner of the Washington State Book Award--returns with this satirical feminist novel about a woman of a certain age who sparks a firestorm when she holds a contest, based on a fabled Indian custom, in which men compete to win her affections. A humorous and pointed fable for our times, Intemperance by Sonora Jha is also a beautiful meditation on aging, romance, love, and hope. Sonora will be joined in-conversation with Nina Renata Aron, the author of Good Morning, Destroyer of Men's Souls.
