Meg Wolitzer + Mary Gordon

This dual reading should be an evening filled with sensitivity and humor. In Wolitzer's latest, The Uncoupling, she twists a fanciful conceit from Lysistrata into an entire community of women who suddenly lose all sexual interest in their mates. The Love of My Youth, a new novel from Gordon, reunites a middle-aged man and woman who were lovers 30 years previous; as they spend more time together, they unravel the knotted thread of their shared history.
