George Pelecanos: Book Launch For OWNING UP (With Emma Snyder)

Please The Ivy Bookshop in welcoming author and producer George Pelecanos to Bird in Hand to launch his new collection of novellas, OWNING UP! Pelecanos’ portraits are characterized by shades of grey, resisting the mold of heroes and villains, victims and perpetrators, good and evil. At once streetwise and full of heart, Owning Up grapples with random chance, the bind of consequence, and the forked paths a life can take. Emma Snyder, the owner of The Ivy Bookshop and Bird in Hand, will join George in conversation.

George Pelecanos is the bestselling author of twenty-two novels and story collections set in and around Washington, D.C. He is also a producer and Emmy-nominated writer of HBO’s The Wire, Treme, The Deuce and We Own This City. He lives in Maryland.

Emma Snyder is the owner of The Ivy Bookshop and Bird in Hand Coffee & Books in Baltimore, Maryland. The former Executive Director of the PEN/Faulkner Foundation, she holds an MFA in Fiction from the University of Wisconsin.
