From the beloved, award-winning author of the modern classics Lost Children Archive and Tell Me How It Ends comes her most powerful and page-turning novel yet: the tale of a mother and a daughter starting over, searching for a new story.

Beginning Middle End evolves into a road novel of exquisite tenderness, spanning four generations of women. In their travels through Sicily, mother and daughter cross paths with the island’s migrants, storekeepers, and elders, and also its volcanoes, its winds, and its waters. Weaving myths, ancient philosophy, and natural history with fleeting moments of contemporary life, the unforgettable characters in this novel take us on a journey across time, and confront some of life’s primary questions: How do stories shape our children’s memories and imagination? How do we situate ourselves deeply in the world while accepting our transience in it? How are a family’s memories made and what happens when they disappear? More Info

Pole Dancers at the Red Barn: A Novel in Stories Book Launch and signing with author Susan Katz in conversation with Martha Majsak

Pole Dancers at the Red Barn is a fierce and heartfelt novel in stories about people reinventing themselves through found family. At its center is the Red Barn, a no-nonsense pole-dancing venue where five women and one nonbinary performer turn the stage into a place of truth. Their performances captivate, but it’s what happens offstage—reckoning with their mothers’ choices, buried fears, and long-held silences—that drives the book’s emotional power. Each story reveals a fight against poverty, violence, or prejudice and the determination to build a life that means something, and is accompanied by one of Katz’s original photographs to act as an emotional touchstone.
