SUMMARY:Some Favorite Writers: Katie Kitamura
DESCRIPTION:Shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2025\, Katie Kitamura’s most recent novel Audition asks who we are to the people we love. In this compulsively readable\, brilliantly constructed novel\, two competing narratives unspool\, rewriting our understanding of the roles we play every day – partner\, parent\, creator\, muse – and the truths every performance masks\, especially from those who think they know us most intimately. \nCalled “…one of America’s best contemporary writers\,” by the BBC\, Kitamura has work translated into 21 languages and in adaptations for film and television. Her novel Intimacies was one of the New York Times’ 10 Best Books of 2021\, was longlisted for the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award\, and was a finalist for the Joyce Carol Oates Prize. It was also one of Barack Obama’s favorite books of 2021. \nReadings are followed by discussion with the author and UCLA professor Mona Simpson\, who organizes this series. \nCopresented by the UCLA Department of English. Limited books will be available for purchase. \nQuestions about the event? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisit the Hammer Museum for full details.

SUMMARY:Some Favorite Writers: Jean Strouse
DESCRIPTION:In her newest publication Family Romance: John Singer Sargent and the Wertheimers\, award-winning author Jean Strouse captures the dramas\, mysteries\, intrigues\, and tragedies surrounding John Singer Sargent’s portraits of the Wertheimer family. Family Romance looks at twelve portraits of one English family painted by the expatriate American artist at the height of his career—and at the intersections of all these lives with the sparkle and strife of the Edwardian age. \nStrouse is the winner of the Bancroft Prize in American History and Diplomacy and her essays and reviews have appeared in The New Yorker\, The New York Review of Books\, The New York Times\, Architectural Digest\, and Newsweek. \nReadings are followed by discussion with the author and UCLA professor Mona Simpson\, who organizes this series. \nCopresented by the UCLA Department of English.
