'The Oyster Diaries' with Nancy Lemann at Politics and Prose, Washington, D.C.

Join Nancy Lemann at Politics and Prose for a reading and discussion of her new book, The Oyster Diaries. 

A disarmingly funny and poignant portrayal of the vicissitudes of adulthood that is as exuberant as it is indignant, The Oyster Diaries relays the world through the eyes of Delery Anhalt. Her father and his peers, the old guard of New Orleans, are entering their twilight years, her daughters are stepping into adulthood, and she is navigating the uncertainty of being midway upon the journey of her life. Caught between a generation fixed in the past and one intent on changing the future, Delery decides to take stock of herself and the people around her through a series of diaries brimming with wry observations of her upbringing in New Orleans and daily travails in Washington DC.

This event is free with first come, first serve seating.
