A reading from her new novel

Kingsolver will read from her highly anticipated new novel, Unsheltered, published on October 16.

Booklist in a starred review says, “There is much to delight in and think about while reveling in Kingsolver’s vital characters, quicksilver dialogue, intimate moments, dramatic showdowns, and lushly realized milieus....

An enveloping, tender, witty, and awakening novel of love and trauma, family and survival, moral dilemmas and intellectual challenges.”

Publishers Weekly, also in a starred review, writes, “this novel shows Kingsolver at the top of her game.”

The Inprint Margarett Root Brown Reading Series is presented by Inprint, a Houston-based nonprofit literary arts organization dedicated to inspiring readers and writers. The series is made possible by the generous underwriting support of The Brown Foundation, Inc., and in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts: Art Works. Inprint receives support from the Texas Commission on the Arts and The City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance. The series is presented in association with Brazos Bookstore and the University of Houston Creative Writing Program.
