Hell's Kitchen, NYC
Overview
It’s 1995. Outside their grimy window, the city rushes by. But in the flat there is only Stephen and Eily. Their bodies, the tangled sheets. Unpacked boxes stacked in the kitchen and the total obsession of new love. But eighteen months later, they face a reckoning for all that’s been left unspoken—emotions, secrets and ambitions. Tonight, if they are to find one another again, what must be said aloud?
The award-winning author of A Girl is a Half-formed Thing joins us in conversation to launch her latest novel, as dark, transgressive, and stylistically exciting as anything she’s written. McBride will be joined in conversation by Irish Arts Center's Director of Programming and Education, Rachael Gilkey.

“There’s an openness, an inclusivity, a distinct lack of God-almightyness, that makes reading [McBride’s work] such a pleasure”—THE NEW YORK TIMES
“Brilliantly rule-breaking fiction”—THE GUARDIAN
