JENNIFER FINNEY BOYLAN
Tuesday, February 5 at 7:30 p.m.

An award-winning author of ten books, Jennifer Finney Boylan has received most attention and acclaim for her 2003 memoir, She's Not There. Besides winning a Lambda Literary Foundation Prize, it was also the first bestselling work by a transgendered U.S. author. She makes this welcome return this evening for her newest work, I'm Looking Through You: Growing Up Haunted: A Memoir (Broadway). Yes, it's about the house she grew up in ... haunted. "Jenny Boylan's I'm Looking Through You ranks right up there with Mary Karr's The Liars' Club and Tobias Wolff's This Boy's Life as one of the finest literary memoirs of the last several decades. Like these it's a haunting revelation of the human heart, its terrible longings, its fears and joys, the secret recesses where we most truly dwell. How alike we all are, down this deep." –Richard Russo.
