SUMMARY:The Joy of Funerals—20 Years Later: A Book Talk and Signing With Alix Strauss
DESCRIPTION:Described by the Los Angeles Times as “part ‘Six Feet Under\,’ part ‘Sex and the City\,’” The Joy Of Funerals by Alix Strauss has become a cult classic since its publication in 2003. Now\, twenty years later\, on the occasion of the novel’s rerelease\, Strauss joins us at Green-Wood for a reading\, discussion\, Q&A\, and book signing.  Books will be available for purchase. \n\n\n\nThe Joy of Funerals is a collection of stories that explores the lives of nine young women\, each willing to take drastic measures to fill the voids created by longing and loneliness. The stories are anchored around the character of Nina\, a lonely\, single thirty-something woman who attends funerals in the hope of connecting with others. \n\n\n\nWritten with raw wit\, mordant humor\, and a uniquely penetrating voice\, Strauss turns the spotlight on the unattractive subjects of loss\, grief\, and loneliness. The Joy of Funerals is a smart\, vivid and arresting look into the inner world of those left behind\, and those still holding on. \n\n\n\n\n\nPrice: Free\, registration required \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-Person Event(see details below)\n\n\n\n\n\nAlix Strauss is a trend\, culture\, and lifestyle journalist; an award-winning\, four-time published author; and a speaker.
