“The Suspense of Writing” Session Set for April 3
Fans of suspense writing will thrill at the “The Suspense of Writing” session set for 2:30 p.m. April 3 featuring Lilliam Rivera, author of Tiny Threads (Penguin Random House, 2024), Rachel Lyon, author of Fruit of the Dead (Simon and Schuster, 2024), and Zach Williams, author of Beautiful Days (Doubleday, 2024), in conversation with Melissa Ginsburg, UM associate professor of English and creative writing. In Tiny Threads, a sinister, slow-burn novel of supernatural suspense, a young woman gets her dream job working for a famous designer—and discovers the dark side of high-stakes fashion. Fruit of the Dead is an electric contemporary reimagining of the myth of Persephone and Demeter set over the course of one summer on a lush private island, about addiction and sex, family and independence, and who holds the power in a modern underworld. Beautiful Days is a striking and savage debut story collection that confronts parenthood, mortality, and life’s broken promises.
