Book launch: Andrew Ridker presents Hope
In conversation with Sanjena Sathian

In Andrew Ridker's latest novel Hope, we follow the seemingly perfect Greenspan family over the course of a tumultuous year after a series of scandals has been set in motion. In the midst of their disillusionment, they’ll discover their own capacity for resilience, connection, and, ultimately, hope. From the acclaimed author of The Altruists, comes “a funny, incisive, and keen novel of family, citizenship, and the fundamental American promise.” Joined by Sanjena Sathian (Gold Diggers), Greenlight is delighted to present the book launch of Hope by Andrew Ridker.

Please join us on Zoom for a virtual event with Theodore McCombs, who will read from and talk about his new short stories, Uranians, with Sanjena Sathian.  "McCombs draws worlds--past, present, and future--in which capitalism-assisted technologies and patriarchy-induced paranormalities have taken control, rendering us unrecognizable to one another. These are extraordinary tales of anti-heroes in post-apocalyptic and macabre landscapes who must battle systems to find their liberation and in the process illuminate our own. McCombs has written an absorbing and thought-provoking debut collection." --Alejandro Varela
