SUMMARY:Author Talk: Lisa Ko in conversation with Margaret Wilkerson Sexton
DESCRIPTION:Lisa Ko\, the award-winning author of The Leavers\, joins the 
 Mill Valley Library to discuss her visionary new novel of friendship\, 
 art\, and ambition. Moving from the predigital 1980s to the art and tech 
 subcultures of the 1990s to a strikingly imagined portrait of the 2040s\, 
 Memory Piece is an innovative and audacious story of three lifelong friends 
 as they strive to build satisfying lives in a world that turns out to be 
 radically different from the one they were promised.\n\n“Wild and 
 wonderful\, punk and propulsive\, Memory Piece is about three friends 
 growing from girlhood into a sinister new world. It is about authenticity\, 
 surveillance\, capitalism\, queerness\, and the internet. It is about—it 
 is—everything.” –Julia Phillips\, National Book Award finalist author 
 of The Disappearing Earth\n\nLisa Ko is the author of the nationally 
 bestselling novel The Leavers\, which was a finalist for the National Book 
 Award for Fiction and the PEN/Hemingway Award\, and winner of the 2016 
 PEN/Bellwether Prize for Socially Engaged Fiction. Ko’s short fiction has 
 appeared in The Best American Short Stories and her essays and nonfiction 
 have been published in The New York Times and The Believer.\n\nMargaret 
 Wilkerson Sexton\, born and raised in New Orleans\, studied creative 
 writing at Dartmouth College and law at UC Berkeley. She is the author of 
 On the Rooftop (a Reese's Book Club Pick)\, The Revisioners\, (2020 Janet 
 Heidinger Kafka Prize and NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work 
 recipient)\, and A Kind of Freedom.\n\nSausalito Books by the Bay will be
