Description

Journalist, crime fiction novelist, and memoirist Laura Lippman has been recognized as one of the most gifted and versatile writers working today, and she comes to the Symphony Space virtual salon to talk about her latest novel, Lady in the Lake. In an intimate setting, chat with Lippman about this extraordinary work and get a first-hand preview of her upcoming psychological thriller, Dream Girl. Limited to 30 tickets, our Salon series goes beyond the page and offers you the opportunity to be in the virtual room for a one-of-a-kind in-depth discussion.

“Lippman tells a classic mystery through the prism of many characters, all feeling the reverberations of dawning feminism and racial tension in civil-rights-era Baltimore . . . Lady in the Lake is aching, thoughtful, and compulsively readable.” –Vanity Fair
