Join us at the wonderful Babs’ Lab for another Abridged Reading Event on May 1, as Sarah Gerard makes her Jacksonville appearance with her new book SUNSHINE STATE: Essays (A Harper Perennial Paperback Original).
Admission is free. Books will be available for purchase.
Sarah Gerard’s debut novel Binary Star was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Award for First Fiction and appeared on several national Book of the Year lists. Gerard’s ascent in the literary scene continues with SUNSHINE STATE: Essays a stunning collection in which she uses her experiences growing up along Florida’s Gulf Coast to explore intimacy, addiction, identity, religion, homelessness, incarceration, and so much more.
“Gerard is a virtuoso of language, which in her hands is precise, unlabored, and quietly wrought with emotion…. She is also a very diligent journalist…. Brave, keenly observational, and humanitarian… Gerard’s collection leaves an indelible impression.”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
