Join us and local Queens author, Jennifer Kitses, for the launch of her debut novel, Small Hours!
Small Hours is a captivating first novel that Whiting Award-winning author of Loner, Teddy Wayne, says “unravel[s] with the tension of a thriller and the gimlet-eyed observations of a novel of manners.”
Set up on the edge of the economic downturn, Tom and Helen fled New York City for life in a former mill town where they could raise their twin daughters. Kitses captures the absolute universality of experience. No matter your own stage of life, it is impossible not to see yourself in these skillfully drawn, deeply sympathetic working parents with their financial and marital and career struggles. There is also sharp, delicious humor amid the drama, as each decision made by Tom and Helen sets off a series of small explosions—spiraling spectacularly, satisfyingly, into chaos.
Jennifer Kitses has worked as a reporter for Bloomberg News and as an editor for Columbia Business School. She is a graduate of St. Andrews University’s creative writing program and lives with her family in New York.
