The Museum of Jewish Heritage is now hosting Summer Thursdays at 7:00 p.m.. The Museum comes to life with music and storytellers, alongside dinner and drinks. To top it off, the night is accompanied by a beautiful view of New York Harbor.
Populated with lovers who leave and return, with ghosts of the Holocaust and messages from the dead, Courtney Sender’s debut collection “In Other Lifetimes All I’ve Lost Comes Back to Me“ speaks in a singular new voice about the longings and loneliness of contemporary love. The world of these fourteen interlocking stories is fiercely real but suffused with magic and myth, dark wit and distinct humor. Here, ancient loss works its way deep into the psyche of modern characters, stirring their unrelenting lust for life. Listen to Sender read from and discuss her stunning story collection.
Sender’s writing has appeared in the New York Times’ Modern Love, the Atlantic, the Kenyon Review, American Short Fiction and Tin House, among others. A MacDowell and Yaddo fellow, she holds an MFA from the Johns Hopkins Writing Seminars and an MTS from Harvard Divinity School. She currently lives in the Boston area.
This is an in-person event held on August 17, 2023. The event will start at 7:00 p.m. and a $10 donation is suggested to keep programs like this alive. Register here.
