Tonight, as part of our Friday@Hemingway series, we feature a moderated discussion with author Caroline Woods about her new novel book , The Lunar Housewife. A stylish and suspenseful historical page-turner following an up-and-coming journalist who stumbles onto a web of secrets, deceptions, and mysteries at a popular new literary magazine–inspired by the true story of CIA intervention in Cold War American arts and letters. Peppered with cameos from real life luminaries such as Truman Capote and James Baldwin, and full of period detail and nail-biting tension, Caroline Woods channels 1950s New York glamour as Louise&#x27;s investigation brings her face to face with shocking secrets, brutal sexism, and life or death consequences. Deeply researched and propulsive, The Lunar Housewife is a historical thriller rich with meaning for modern readers. Hemingway Foundation Writer in Residence, Rebecca Morgan Franks, will lead this discussion.“This cleverly inventive yet authentic–feeling early Cold War thriller from Woods (Fräulein M.) takes on the New York publishing world from a woman’s perspective, while containing a novella-length American-Soviet space romance written by the protagonist with parallels to her own life. . . The suspense builds as Woods shifts between the main narrative and the space romance, which provides a window into Louise’s frustrated mindset about gender dynamics, politics, and power. This is a delightfully different variety of spy story.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)When securing your complimentary tickets for this author discussion event, please note you have an add-on option to secure a hardcover edition of The Lunar Housewife for $28.00 for author signature at the event.
