HEIDI JULAVITS reading & book signing for The Uses of Enchantment Wednesday, November 15 at 7:00 pm
In late afternoon on November 7, 1985, sixteen-year-old Mary Veal was abducted after field hockey practice at her all-girl New England prep school. Or was she? Heidi Julavits’ new novel, "The Uses of Enchantment," weaves a provocative spell in which the reader sees how the extraordinary power of a young woman’s sexuality, and the desire to wield it, have a devastating effect on all involved.
Heidi Julavits is the author of two previous novels, "The Mineral Palace" and "The Effect of Living Backwards," as well as a collaborative book, "Hotel Andromeda." She is a founding editor of Believer, and her writings have appeared in The New York Times, Esquire, Time, and McSweeney’s. She lives in Manhattan and Maine.
