Description

Author Joshua Henkin shares his novel "Morningside Heights," "a richly textured family portrait...profoundly moving and illuminating” Morningside Heights, a precisely observed portrait of a Columbia professor and his family, was one of the summer’s “need to read” novels, landing praise from Good Morning America to Newsweek, from The New York Times to the indie booksellers of IndieNext (#1 June Pick). The Wall Street Journal called this urban narrative “a richly textured family portrait...profoundly moving and illuminating,” while author Elizabeth Strout (Olive Kitteredge) praised it as “a glorious book.” Author Joshua Henkin, who directs Brooklyn College’s MFA program in Fiction Writing, appears in conversation with writer and NAC member David Masello.
