Brookline Booksmith is pleased to welcome authors MAX WINTER and DAISY JOHNSON as they share excerpts from their respective books, Exes and Fen.
In MAX WINTER’s heartbreaking yet hilarious Exes, the city of Providence haunts Clay Blackall – it’s the only place that holds the answer to his brother suicide.
The 12 stories that comprise DAISY JOHNSON’s lusty debut are a deep dive into symbolism, from a girl who seeks to starve herself into the shape of an eel to a house in love with its female inhabitant.
Certain books were “banned in Boston” at least as far back as 1651, when one William Pynchon wrote a book criticizing Puritanism.
