Join local New York Times Bestselling author Eric Rickstad for a reading and discussion of his latest novel, LILITH at the Martha Canfield Library on May 14 at 7:00 pm..
LILITH is being called a novel of and for our times, an incendiary, unforgettable powerhouse novel that takes head-on our nation's nightmare of school shootings and its myth of male gun violence that fosters it. It has been praised by librarians, booksellers, career educators, and reviewers as a must-read novel that invites discussion and gives voice to the rage and helplessness we all feel toward America's epidemic of mass shootings, and those in power who refuse to do anything to help.
A recent NPR review said of LILITH: "Full of sadness and rage, this timely narrative cuts to the heart of the gun debate and school shootings with a scalpel of words. Lilith shows you society with love and great insight into what makes us tick, but also with brutal honesty and under a stark, unwavering light. This is a brave, timely novel that goes straight to the damaged soul of this country." The Martha Canfield Library is located at 528 East Arlington Rd. in Arlington.
