SUMMARY:Stephen Kiernan | Pollock's Last Lover: A Novel of Art and Deception
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the publication of a new novel by Stephen P. Kiernan\, Pollock’s Last Lover: A Novel of Art and Deception. Co-hosted by the Yankee Bookshop\, this event will be a conversation between the writer and M.T. (Tobin) Anderson\, an award-winning author of fiction and nonfiction for all ages. \nSet in New York City in alternating time periods – the 1950s and the early 2000s – Pollock’s Last Lover is the engrossing tale of two women whose lives collide as they contend with the art and legacy of the brilliant\, tragic painter Jackson Pollock. Gwen is an associate at a prestigious auction house tasked with verifying the authenticity of a Pollock painting offered by Ruth Kligman\, who had a tempestuous relationship with the painter. \nFrom smoky Greenwich Village dive bars to glitzy art auctions\, from the empty studio of a man once known for his artistic stamina to the fine museums where his works hang\, the controversial painting provides a window into two eras and the ongoing struggle of women to develop power and freedom on their own terms. \nStephen P. Kiernan is the author of the novels The Curiosity\, The Hummingbird\, The Baker’s Secret\, Universe of Two\, and The Glass Chateau. A graduate of Middlebury College\, Johns Hopkins University\, and the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop\, he spent more than twenty years as a journalist\, winning many awards before turning to fiction writing. He has also worked nationwide on improving end-of-life medical care through greater use of hospice. Kiernan lives in Vermont. \nM.T. Anderson has written stories for adults\, picture books for children\, adventure novels for young readers\, graphic novel adaptations of ancient French tales\, and several books for older readers (both teens and adults). His satirical book Feed was a Finalist for the National Book Award\, won the L.A. Times Book Prize\, and is included on several lists of “best YA novels.” A nonfiction book\, Symphony for the City of the Dead: Dmitri Shostakovich and the Siege of Leningrad\, was long-listed for the National Book Award. He has curated concerts that bring together text and classical music all over New England. \nYankee Bookshop will be on hand with copies of Pollock’s Last Lover.
