Join Milkweed Books and Milkweed Managing Editor Lauren Langston Klein as we welcome author JOSELYN TAKACS. Join Milkweed Books and Milkweed Managing Editor Lauren Langston Klein as we welcome author JOSELYNTAKACS in launching her debut novel, Pearce Oysters, out now with Zibby Media. The program will include a reading from the author, followed by an editorial conversation with Lauren Langston Klein. They will discuss novel-writing as a craft, the editorial process, publishing how-tos, and moderate a lively Q + A. ABOUTTHEBOOK A divided family. A devastated community. And the disaster that brings them all together.
Pearce Oysters, a family drama set on the Louisiana coastline during the historic 2010 oil spill, follows the Pearces, local oyster farmers whose business, family, and livelihood are on the brink of collapse. This is eye-opening, eco-fiction at its best–a story that highlights the grit and beauty of lives lived in an overlooked corner of the American South. Diving deep into the bonds of family, culture, class, and industry, the novel elevates the voices of deeply sympathetic characters: Jordan, the reluctant head of his family’s storied oyster company; May, his distressed, widowed mother; and Benny, his beatnik musician brother, who returns from New Orleans in their time of crisis. The dynamic between Jordan’s desperation to live up to, and become the business, and Benny’s determination to separate from his family entirely, before the spill, builds the perfect storm. ABOUTTHESPEAKERS JOSELYNTAKACS holds a PhD in Creative Writing and Literature from the University of Southern California and an MFA in Fiction from Johns Hopkins University. Her fiction has appeared in Gulf Coast, Narrative, Tin House online, Harvard Review, The Rumpus, DIAGRAM, Columbia: A Journal of Literature and Art, and elsewhere.
