CENTER STAGE - 1PM EST - AFFAIRS OF THE HEART

Desire, power, violence, and forbidden love drive the turmoil within new books by PEN/Faulkner Award winner Azareen van der Vliet Oloomi (Savage Tongues), heralded debut author Robert Jones Jr. (The Prophets), and Edward Lewis Wallant Award winner Joshua Henkin (Morningside Heights). These three novelists come together for a discussion about the desires that lie deep within us, tackling subjects such as eroticism, identity, and infidelity, and their outcomes.
