Award-winning author and Pulitzer Prize finalist Alice McDermott makes a special visit to Long Island to discuss her critically acclaimed new novel, Absolution, with novelist Susan Isaacs.
The wives of the Vietnam War take center stage in this poignant novel about two women whose marital duties to their soldier husbands in Saigon resonate sixty years later as they discover how their lives as women on the periphery—of politics, of history, of war, of their husbands' convictions—have been shaped and burdened by the same consequences that followed America's interference in Southeast Asia.
