Book Launch: Hal Ebbott presents Among Friends
In conversation with Coco Mellors

Fort Greene local writer Hal Ebbott launches his new novel Among Friends, bound to be a major literary debut of the summer! It's an autumn weekend at a comfortable New York country house and two deeply intertwined families have gathered to mark the host’s fifty-second birthday. But what begins as celebration steadily gives way to an unforeseen curdling of envy and resentment, erupting in an unspeakable act—the aftermath of which exposes treacherous fault lines upon which they have long dwelt. Masterfully written, Among Friends has received extraordinary praise from some of the most recognized names in the literary space, including John Irving, Richard Ford, John Banville, and Claire Lombardo. Coco Mellors, New York Times best-selling author of Cleopatra and Frankenstein and Blue Sisters, joins Ebbott for an in-depth discussion on the book, before an audience Q&A and signing.
