Event Details

For readers of Rufi Thorpe and Taffy Brodesser-Akner, the story of an ad exec who bombs the biggest pitch of his career and decides to forgo capitalism and live off the land of his suburban Connecticut home–a timely and comedic take on ambition, consumerism, and the sticker price of privilege from an author known for her stealth, comedic satires of the industrial happiness complex. Funny, sexy, intelligent, and poignant, Alan Opts Out is the most ambitious novel to date by celebrated author Courtney Maum, acclaimed for her stories that tackle big, chewy subjects of our post-modern America with wit and heart. Courtney will be joined by Alyssa Burgart, a physician-writer, podcaster, and singer/songwriter.
