Contemporary Fiction: The History of Sound In-Person
Judy Levin will lead a book discussion of The History of Sound: Stories by Ben Shattuck. A stunning collection of interconnected stories set in New England, The History of Sound explores how the past is often misunderstood and how history, family, heartache, and desire can echo over centuries. It has won the Story Prize Spotlight Award and the 2025 Mark Twain American Voice in Literature Award and was longlisted for the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction and the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction.
