Connecting Readers and Writers

Reading an engaging book can generate lively and satisfying discussion for your group, but have you ever wished you could get an author's take on some of your unanswered questions? Author Chat gives your group the opportunity to win a phone call with select Vintage and Anchor authors so you can pose those questions yourself.

It's simple--from time to time we'll announce an author participating in the program, and then we'll solicit e-mail entries for a random drawing to win. Don't worry--we'll give your group plenty of time to read the book before you "meet" the author!*

Author Chat: Joshua Henkin

This month we've selected Joshua Henkin, acclaimed author of Matrimony. As the title suggests, it's a story about a relationship--one that evolves between two young friends in college and carries through the next fifteen years. But this isn't simply the recounting of a love affair--it's a portrait of what it truly means to share a life with someone. As his vivdly drawn characters move through their lives together, Henkin crafts a rich story that touches on the complex themes of love, friendship, ambition, desire, and even faith, and the result will keep your reading group talking for hours.

Browse inside the book, read an excerpt, check out Joshua Henkin's tour, visit the author's official Web site at www.joshuahenkin.com, and print our free Reading Group Guide.
