Sunday With Friends: Lee Smith
May 15 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Meet Lee Smith, the beloved writer who is originally from southwest Virginia, to celebrate her two recent works set in Florida. The novella Blue Marlin follows adventurous thirteen-year-old Jenny down to Key West for a patched-up family vacation following the discovery of her father’s illicit affair. Jenny confronts the frailty of family life while vying for the attention of actor Tony Curtis, who is working on a film nearby. Silver Alert describes the adventures of irascible Herbert Atlas, whose family is trying to force him into an assisted living facility. He escapes with a manicurist who is as desperate for a new life as he is.
