SUMMARY:Literary Salon at The Local
DESCRIPTION:Introducing Literary Salon at The Local\, Sunday March 1st — the first in our new series of bringing authors and readers together at Parkville Market! 📚 🌟 \nWe’re kicking off the series with Christopher Castellani and Grant Ginder as they dive into their compelling new releases: Last Seen and So Old\, So Young. From haunting mysteries to generation-defining friendships\, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. \nJoin us for a lively evening of great books\, great conversation\, and great company! Get tickets now! Link Below. \nGeneral admission + book bundle includes your choice of one featured book. Signings with both authors will follow the event. \n  \nThe authors book bios: \nAbout Last Seen by Christopher Castellani\nI am one of those boys they keep finding in the river. \nCaleb was driving home for Christmas. Steven was pounding beers at a local bar. Matthew was out looking for his ex-girlfriend. Leo was walking in the woods on a winter night. Then they disappeared. \nDays\, weeks\, years later\, their bodies turn up in icy rivers hundreds of miles apart. How did they get there? What\, if anything\, connects them? Some of their loved ones believe the official answers. Some are convinced the boys are victims of an insidious network called the Smiley Face Killers. Some are trying to forget them altogether. Meanwhile\, Caleb\, Steven\, Matthew\, and Leo find one other—and other boys like them—in the murky depths of the afterlife. Each tells his story in his own way\, speaking his version of truth\, confessing his desires and grievances and even his hopes for a future he still somehow believes belongs to him. Each revelation brings the reader deeper into their intertwined fates\, along a journey through the landscapes of identity\, intimacy\, and the haunting echoes of unresolved grief. \nChristopher Castellani is the author of four previous novels (the trilogy A Kiss from Maddalena\, The Saint of Lost Things\, and All This Talk of Love) and The Art of Perspective\, a book of essays on the craft of fiction. He is the winner of a 2024 Literature Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts\, a Guggenheim and Mass Cultural Council fellow\, and the 2022-24 writer in residence at Brandeis University. His fourth novel\, Leading Men\, is currently being adapted into a film for Fox Searchlight Pictures by Oscar-winning producer Peter Spears and director Luca Guadagnino. He lives in Boston and Provincetown. \nAbout So Old\, So Young by Grant Ginder\nSix Friends. Five Parties. Twenty Years…How did we get So Old\, So Young? \nFrom Grant Ginder\, the bestselling author of The People We Hate at the Wedding\, comes a generation-defining novel that is part love story\, part tragic comedy. Five parties over the course of twenty years bring six college friends together\, exploring the ways we run from and cling to our friends in love\, life\, and death. \nFor Marco and Mia\, Sasha and Theo\, Richie and Adam\, the one constant in life after college together has been change. New jobs. New cities. New spouses. New children. Through it all\, one thing they thought would always stay the same is their friendship. \nBut time has a way of breaking even the strongest bonds\, and testing what we thought we knew. From East Village apartment parties and disastrous destination weddings to fortieth birthdays and suburban backyard barbecues\, Grant Ginder’s resonant\, funny\, and deeply moving novel is a story about the growing pains of the Millennial generation\, and a celebration of how love can shift\, stumble\, and grow into something bigger than we ever could have imagined. \nGrant Ginder is the author of five novels\, including Let’s Not Do That Again and The People We Hate at the Wedding\, now a major motion picture starring Allison Janney\, Kristen Bell\, and Ben Platt. Originally from Southern California\, Ginder received his MFA from New York University\, where he teaches writing.
