Afternoon with the Author: Elyse Durham
Free with admission.
Join author Elyse Durham in our Museum Shop for an insightful peek into the making of her newest novel, Maya & Natasha, followed by a short reading from her book and a Q&A, alongside complimentary tea, coffee, and treats. As the Cold War heats up, twin sisters and ballet dancers Maya and Natasha must confront their loyalties: to East versus West; to the government that saved them versus their dreams of freedom; and, always, to each other.
A graduate of the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College, Elyse Durham’s fiction has or will soon appear in the Cimarron Review, the Cincinnati Review, Image, and elsewhere. She is an Elizabeth George grantee and has held residencies at the Vermont Studio Center, the Glen Arbor Arts Center, and the Mount, the home of Edith Wharton. She lives in Kalamazoo, Michigan with her husband, who is a Greek Orthodox priest.
