The Lillian Goldman Literary Series presents the second in an already widely praised series of staged readings exploring the experiences of love, well-being and loss through the eyes of New York Jewish authors. The evening features Nicole Krauss reading from her widely acclaimed story, “The Last Words on Earth” from her novel The History of Love. Noted author Dorothy Gallagher will read from How I Came Into My Inheritance and Strangers in the House. Jonathan Rosen, editorial director of NEXTBOOK, will read from his national bestseller, The Life of the Skies and Alix Kates Shulman from her memoir, To Love What Is: A Marriage Transformed. Stage and screen actress Kathleen Chalfant and a wonderful supporting cast will bring their talents to bear. Cellist Stephanie Winters will perform musical interludes using her instrument to provide a variety of musical forms, styles and settings.
