Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist Adam Haslett comes to CHF to discuss his latest novel "Imagine Me Gone", which Tony Kushner described as “one of the great books about loss and mourning…This magnificent work of art has overwhelmed me and broken my heart.” A searing, gut-wrenching, and yet frequently hilarious story of a family and their father’s mental illness, Haslett’s work brings alive the love of a mother for her children, the often inescapable devotion of siblings, and the legacy of a parent's pain.
