SUMMARY:Community Speaker Series: "Romantic Comedy" with Curtis Sittenfeld
DESCRIPTION:In bestselling author CURTIS SITTENFELD’s much-loved new 
 novel\, she explores – with her typically keen observations and trademark 
 ability to bring complex women to life on the page – the 
 neurosis-inducing and heart-fluttering wonder of love\, while slyly 
 dissecting the social rituals of romance and gender relations in the modern 
 age. Sittenfeld sits down with Sun Valley Writers’ Conference Literary 
 Director JOHN BURNHAM SCHWARTZ – a former professor of hers at the Iowa 
 Writers’ Workshop\, as it happens – to discuss what makes Romantic 
 Comedy a romantic comedy\, her approach to genre and craft in previous 
 novels such as American Wife\, Rodham\, and Eligible\, and other stories 
 from her literary journey.\n\nPresented in partnership with the Sun Valley 
 Writers' Conference\, the Community Speaker Series welcomes speakers from 
 the annual conference to The Community Library for a free community event. 
 This year's series features Javier Zamora on July 19 and Curtis Sittenfeld 
 on July 25.\n\nRegistration is required to save your seat. A book signing

 to watch online (no registration needed for online only). A recording will 
 be available to watch following the event.\n\nCurtis Sittenfeld is the 
 bestselling author of six novels\, including Prep\, American Wife\, 
 Eligible and Rodham\, and one story collection\, You Think It\, I’ll Say 
 It. Her books have been selected by The New York Times\, Time\, EW\, and 
 People for their “Ten Best Books of the Year” lists\, picked for Reese 
 Witherspoon’s book club\, optioned for television and film\, and 
 translated into thirty languages. Her short stories have appeared in The 
 New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, and The Best American Short Stories anthology\, 
 of which she was the 2020 guest editor. Her seventh novel\, Romantic 
 Comedy\, will be published in April 2023. She lives with her family in 
 Minneapolis.\n\nPhoto credit: Ackerman   Gruber.
