Author Talk: "The Latecomer" by Jean Hanff Korelitz
Join us in conversation with author Jean Hanff Korelitz about her highly acclaimed new novel "The Latecomer."
"The Latecomer" follows the story of the wealthy, Brooklyn-based, Oppenheimer family from the first meeting of parents, Salo and Johanna, under tragic circumstances, to their triplets born during the early days of IVF. As children, the three siblings – Harrison, Lewyn, and Sally – feel no strong familial bond and cannot wait to go their separate ways, even as their father becomes more distanced and their mother more desperate. When the triplets leave for college, the mother, faced with truly being alone late in life, makes the decision to have a fourth child. What role will the "latecomer" play in this fractured family?
Jean Hanff Korelitz is the New York Times bestselling author of the novels "The Latecomer," "The Plot," "You Should Have Known" (which aired on HBO in October 2020 as "The Undoing," starring Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant, and Donald Sutherland), "Admission" (adapted as a film in 2013 starring Tina Fey), "The Devil and Webster," "The White Rose," "The Sabbathday River," and "A Jury of Her Peers," as well as "Interference Powder," a novel for children. Her company BOOKTHEWRITER hosts Pop-Up Book Groups in which small groups of readers discuss new books with their authors. She lives in New York City with her husband, Irish poet Paul Muldoon.
