Susan Minot + Jenny Offill

Both of the writers on this bill have produced new titles after a long wait. Minot's Thirty Girls brings together a young woman abducted by Joseph Kony's rebels in Uganda with an American journalist looking for a second life. In Offill's new Dept. of Speculation, a series of spare, evocative paragraphs add up to a marriage, a child and the frustrations that follow.
