A cult figure at the intersection of literature and art, Lynne Tillman will speak to her devoted audience with Men and Apparitions

Bookseller Praise for Men and Apparitions
"Men and Apparitions is about photography, 'New Men,' ethnography, family history, interpreting images, growing up, falling apart, and just about everything else in its own wonky way, featuring Clover Adams, a praying mantis named Mr. Petey, and a kindly elderly painter in Amsterdam, but ultimately it a brilliant novel about a funny, charming, intelligent, sensitive man trying to understand what it means to be alive. A new classic in the 'figuring shit out' genre." —Josh Cook, Porter Square Books (Cambridge, MA)
