Alex Myers: While We Were Silent Reading and Discussion

Join author Alex Myers for a reading from his newest novel While We Were Silent, and a discussion on his previous novel Revolutionary, as well as the 250th anniversary of the United States. This story is set in Autumn 2015 at Green Dell Academy, a prestigious co-ed prep school in Connecticut, which has its first female head of school but still operates like a boys' club riddled with longstanding traditions of misconduct and murder. The narrative revolves around the murder of a woman who fought against sexual violence, unveiling dark secrets as the investigation escalates. Myers, a teacher and transgender rights advocate, is known for his debut novel Revolutionary, a Lambda Literary finalist, along with other works such as Continental Divide and The Story of Silence. He resides in Vermont with his wife and two cats.
