Hauser’s memoir-in-essays brilliantly deconstructs the myths that shape our understanding of desire. Frank and funny, it’s about love, and also, as New York Times columnist Jennifer Senior writes, “also about the power of stories: The ones we are told versus the ones we tell ourselves; how they shape and misshape our expectations; how those stories can both affirm our instincts and estrange us from our deepest yearnings, sometimes at the same time.” Hauser will discuss their memoir The Crane Wife, a Guardian “Best Book of the Year” and a Lambda Literary Award finalist, with Shore Lit Founder Kerry Folan.
