Join Porter Square Books: Boston Edition for a celebration and exploration of the work of Kate Zambreno. The Kate Zambreno Sympoisum is a gathering of readers, critics, writers, & scholars featuring presentations of essays on Zambreno’s work and a conversation between Kate Zambreno and the presenters. 

Through novels, essays, collaborative projects, and works that puncture and protrude through the usual borders between genres, Kate Zambreno has cultivated a literary landscape all her own. Zambreno’s work has sharp edges and big impacts, keen insights and hard wisdom. As different as her projects can be from each other, one always knows when they’ve been through one of her books. Whether she’s writing about the zoo, Herv Guibert, her own life, post-modern fiction, the neglected women of modernism, or anything else, Zambreno has a way of turning our gaze to see something that was always nearby but somehow just out of view.

Essays will be presented from 6PM-7PM. The conversation between Kate Zambreno & the presenters and a Q&A with presenters and audience members will be from 7PM-8PM. A signing will follow.
