2024 Global Literary Alliance Event: with Authors Elizabeth McCracken and Sabrina Orah Mark
Join The Global Jewish Literary Alliance for a conversation between authors Elizabeth McCracken, the 2024 Wingate Prize winner for her book The Hero of this Book, and Sabrina Orah Mark, Jewish Book Council’s 73rd National Jewish Book Award winner for the Autobiography and Memoir category for her book Happily: A Personal History-with Fairy Tales. The two authors discussed their books, which revolve around complicated relationships with family, the struggles and joys of motherhood, and the relationship the author has with themselves as a person and a writer. The conversation was moderated by Jewish Book Council’s fiction editor, Josh Rolnick. The virtual event took place on Thursday, June 20th at 1:00 PM ET.
