City Arts & LecturesEncore - Meg WolitzerWe’re going back to the archives for a 2019 conversation with Meg Wolitzer, whose best-selling books include The Interestings and The Ten-Year Nap. Wolitzer brings readers deep into the lives of her characters, and her clear prose, is infused with sharp observations about group dynamics and ambition. A feminist thread runs throughout all of her work, particularly in her novel “The Wife,” a satirical portrait of a marriage between an acclaimed writer and his overlooked and uncredited spouse. It was adapted into a movie starring Glenn Close. On January 24, 2019 , Meg Wolitzer came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater, to be inte...

The 92nd Street Y, New YorkRead By: Meg WolitzerMeg Wolitzer on her selection:
I chose this story because it’s such an intuitive and ruefully funny close-up of a marriage. My mother, Hilma Wolitzer, looks at the often desperate ways that partners keep each other going; this can be a lifelong work. The characters’ dream of moving from the congested city to the seemingly peaceful suburbs remains alive yet unrealized, a shared fantasy that almost drives them apart. I love “Sundays” for how slyly subversive and honest it is.

Dear Readerliterally show me a healthy person / The WifeMichael found the formal experiments and wild content of Darcie Wilder’s
literally show me a healthy person to be
compelling but not without knots, while Emily enjoys the nuance of Meg
Wolitzer’s novel The Wife. They talk about
delayed adolescence, the unacknowledged genius of the wives of ‘great’ men,
representation and appropriation, and the twitter aesthetic. Also, Dear Reader

2019-02-2643 minCity Arts & LecturesMeg WolitzerAuthor Meg Wolitzer brings readers deep into the lives of others. A feminist thread
runs through all of her work, including novels like “The Interestings” and “The
Wife,” but nowhere is the subject of power more deeply investigated than in her
newest book, “The Female Persuasion.” Campus assault, intergenerational feminism,
debate, mentorship and ambition make it an especially timely story. On January 24
2019, Wolitzer came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater to be interviewed by The
New Yorker’s Adam Gopnik.

When there’s conflict here, in some ways it's a tension between loyalty to others and loyalty to ourselves…or maybe loyalty to who we are now versus another possible future self. Have I overcomplicated my life out of impatience and ingratitude? Have I broken something precious beyond repair? Or on the other hand, am I missing out on the life I’m supposed to have?
