Booksmith presents Amelia Gray and Rosecrans Baldwin reading from their anticipated new books, Isadora and The Last Kid Left.
Amelia Gray’s Isadora is a shocking and visceral portrait of an artist and woman drawn to the brink of destruction by the cruelty of life; a legendary artist churning through prewar Europe. Isadora seeks to obliterate the mannered portrait of a dancer and to introduce the reader to a woman who lived and loved without limits, even in the darkest days of her life.
Rosecrans Baldwin’s The Last Kid Left is loosely inspired by a true crime in 1930’s New England. After a double-murder kicks off a scandal in a beach town, a young woman struggles to create a life for herself and escape the lurid interest of a tight-knit community. This novel is a sort of modern day witch hunt, involving the precarious lives of two teens, a small town sheriff, a retired big-city police officer, and an aspiring young journalist desperate to make the pages of the New Yorker— they all collide in a media firestorm that threatens to swallow them whole.
Free, an RSVP is appreciated.
