An in-store book event at an independent Brooklyn bookstore featuring Xita Rubert in conversation with writer Leslie Jamison. Rubert presents The Key Biscayne Affair, a darkly funny coming-of-age novel in which an unnamed, unreliable narrator remembers a surreal childhood stay with her eccentric Spanish philosophy professor father on a gated island off the coast of Miami. As the professor is embraced by a glittering social scene and his antics tip into recklessness, the narrator is drawn into the island's morally ambiguous world, becoming witness and accomplice to his erratic behavior. A book signing follows the talk.
