Lindsey Drager is joined by Laura Adamczyk (author of HARDLY CHILDREN and ISLAND CITY), Amanda Goldblatt (HARD MOUTH), Ling Ma (author of SEVERANCE and BLISS MONTAGE), and Parker Young (CHEAP THERAPIST SAYS YOU'RE INSANE) to celebrate the launch of her latest novel, THE AVIAN HOURGLASS.

At once an ode to birds, an elegy to space, and a journey into the most haunted and uncanny corners of the human mind, THE AVIAN HOURGLASS showcases Lindsey Drager’s signature brilliance in a stunning, surrealist novel for fans of Jesse Ball, Helen Oyeyemi, Yoko Ogawa, and Shirley Jackson.

Praise for THE AVIAN HOURGLASS:

"THE AVIAN HOURGLASS is splendidly odd and arresting. Drager establishes her themes of loss and duplication and catastrophe and estrangement and connection and sends them orbiting perfectly around each other, round after round, in an orrery of grieving and wonder." —Kevin Brockmeier, author of THE GHOST VARIATIONS and THE ILLUMINATION

"Drager’s THE AVIAN HOURGLASS has the mingled timbre of Redonnet & Brautigan: lucid, injured, hope-drunk. It parcels out the world in queries." —Jesse Ball, author of CENSUS and THE DIVERS' GAME

Lindsey Drager is the author of three previous novels: THE SORROW PROPER, THE LOST DAUGHTER ARCHIVE, and THE ARCHIVE OF ALTERNATE ENDINGS, all from Dzanc Books. She's been a two-time Lambda Literary finalist, and her work has won a Shirley Jackson Award, an NEA Fellowship, and the Bard Fiction Prize.
