A creative writing professor at the University of Virginia will take part in a book reading and signing on Aug. 30 at 7 p.m.
Jane Alison will be reading from her new novel, Villa E, released from Liveright this month, at New Dominion Bookshop.
The event is free and open to the public.
Villa E is inspired by the real-life collision of Irish designer Eileen Gray and famed Swiss architect Le Corbusier and the extraordinary place that bound them. Villa E boldly reimagines a now-infamous feud into a lushly poetic and mesmerizing novel of power, predation, memory and obsession.
Alison is the author of four previous novels and a memoir, The Sisters Antipodes, as well as translations of Ovid’s stories of sexual transformation. She’s also written a book on the craft and theory of writing: Meander, Spiral, Explode: Design and Pattern in Narrative.
New Dominion Bookshop is located at 404 E. Main St. on the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville.
