A modest house in upstate New York. One in the morning. Three people – a couple and their child – hurry out the door, but it’s too late for them. As the virtuosic and terrifying opening scene of J. Robert Lennon’s Broken River (Graywolf) unfolds, a spectral presence seems to be watching with cold and mysterious interest. Soon the house lies abandoned, and years later a new family moves in. Broken River is a cinematic, darkly comic, and sui generis psychological thriller. Lennon will be joined in conversation by poet Ed Skoog, author of Run the Red Lights.
