Ann Beattie + Marketa Irglova

Prolific novelist and short-story writer Beattie reads from her new collection of stories, all of which were published in The New Yorker. Organized chronologically, the book describes her maturation as a subtle analyst of upper-middle-class behavior from the ’70s until now. She is paired tonight with Marketa Irglova, the female half of the Swell Season.
