Lauren Grodstein, author of We Must Not Think of Ourselves, headlines two events at The Lost Bookshop
DELHI – The Lost Bookshop welcomes New York Times bestselling author Lauren Grodstein to Delhi for two events Labor Day weekend: in the morning, “Workshop Your Book’s First Page”, a class for writers working in all genres. In the evening, Grodstein will read from her latest novel, We Must Not Think of Ourselves, a Read with Jenna selection.
About the workshop: In this conversational workshop, writers will read the first page - or first paragraph or two - of their works in progress for feedback from the group and visiting writer Lauren Grodstein. We'll also talk about query letters, synopses, and why that first page matters so much.
About the reading: NYTimes-bestselling novelist Lauren Grodstein reads from her newest novel, We Must Not Think of Ourselves, a heart wrenching and intimate novel of defiance set inside the Warsaw Ghetto. Inspired by the real life archives that allowed Jewish Warsaw's stories to survive World War II.
