Lorraine Adams - The Room and the Chair reading

Lorraine Adams is a novelist, critic and Pulitzer Prize winning journalist. Her new novel, her second, is The Room and the Chair, and it moves from Afghanistan to an American newspaper, from Iran to Washington DC. She populates the novel with the normally silent participants in America-€™s fight against terrorism - the cub reporter, the Iranian nuclear scientist, the women in the military, and the midlevel editors and military men who wield no real power and cannot stop the madness they see around them. Like her first book Harbor, which told the story of an Algerian refugee newly on America-€™s shores, Adams has a knack for illuminating the headlines of the day, bringing humanity and a sense of timelessness to the issues that plague us. She will be in conversation with Bookslut.com editor Jessa Crispin.
