The Bay of Angels: A Novel in Progress
Carole Maso's war-inflected novel-in-progress is a meditation on the profound mystery of suffering, the enigma of history, the power of invention, the properties of fever and light, and the beauty and resilience of the human psyche. An “encyclopedic work,” as Maso describes it, The Bay of Angels spans millennia and utilizes a variety of narrative strategies in an attempt to approach the unfathomable, monstrous, uncanny, fugitive, haunted, and sublime. In this free reading, Maso will present and discuss the book.
