SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reading and Q&A with Brandon Taylor
DESCRIPTION:Login here (no pre-registration needed): https://tinyurl.com/ZellWriters\n\nZell Visiting Writers Series readings and Q&As are free and open to the public\, and will be offered both virtually (via Zoom) and in person (in UMMA's Stern Auditorium). Seats are offered on a first come\, first served basis\; please arrive early to secure a spot. Please contact asbates@umich.edu with any questions or accommodation needs.\n\n\nBrandon Taylor is the author of the novel\, *Real Life*\, which was a finalist for the 2020 Booker Prize\, The National Book Critics Circle John Leonard Prize\, and the 2021 Young Lions Fiction Award\, and was named a NYT Editors’ Choice and NYT Notable Book. His story collection\, *Filthy Animals*\, a national bestseller\, won the 2022 Story Prize and was a finalist for the Dylan Thomas Prize. He is the 2022-2023 Mary Ellen von der Heyden Fellow at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers. His novel\, *The Late Americans*\, is forthcoming from Riverhead Books.\n\nIn the series of linked stories at the heart of *Filthy Animals*\, set in the American Midwest\, a young man treads delicate emotional waters as he navigates a series of sexually fraught encounters with two dancers in an open relationship\, forcing him to weigh his vulnerabilities against his loneliness. In other stories\, a young woman battles with the cancers draining her body and her family\; menacing undercurrents among a group of teenagers explode in violence on a winter night\; a little girl tears through a house like a tornado\, driving her babysitter to the brink\; and couples feel out the jagged edges of connection\, comfort\, and cruelty.\n \n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email asbates@umich.edu-- we are eager to help ensure that this event is inclusive to you.
