Clea Simon
Harvard Book Store's virtual event series welcomes CLEA SIMON—the acclaimed author of World Enough—for a discussion of her latest book, Hold Me Down. She will be joined in conversation by CAROLINE LEAVITT, the bestselling author of Pictures of You and Is This Tomorrow.
Gal, a middle-aged musician, is back in Boston to play a memorial for her late drummer/best friend, when she finds herself freezing on stage at the sight of a face in the crowd. The next day, she learns that the man she saw has been killed—beaten to death behind the venue—and her friend's widower is being charged in connection with his death. When the friend refuses to defend himself, Gal wonders why and, as the memories of begin to flood back, she starts her own informal investigation. As she does so, she must reexamine her own wild life, her perception of the past, and an industry that monetizes dysfunction in a dark tale of love, music, and murder.
