National Book Foundation’s 5 Under 35 honoree Tracy O'Neill returns to Greenlight to deliver her first work of nonfiction, Woman of Interest: a compulsively readable, genre-bending story of finding her missing birth mother and, along the way, learning the priceless power of self-knowledge. Written like a mystery novel, Woman of Interest is a tale of self-discovery and fugitivity from convention that features a femme fatale of unique proportions, a former CIA operative with a criminal record, and a dogged investigator of radical connections outside the nuclear family. O’Neill gorgeously bends the detective genre to her own will as a writer, stepping out of the shadows of her own self-conception to illuminate the hopes of the woman of interest she is both chasing and becoming. Tracy discusses her work with Chloé Cooper Jones, along with a reading and book signing.
