A Q&A and signing will follow their conversation. \nFULFILLMENT and THE GREAT AMERICAN EVERYTHING are available to preorder or purchase in-store at H&H Books and on our ecommerce site\, and they’ll be available the evening of the event\, too. \nRead more about FULFILLMENT–“an evocative tale of ambition\, lust\, and sibling rivalry” (Kirkus)–below. \nAbout FULFILLMENT: \nFULFILLMENT tells the story of two half brothers—Joel\, a successful academic and author\, whose marriage is in deep trouble\, and his younger sibling Emmett\, paralyzed by indecision and working on a factory assembly line—who find themselves at their family home in Kentucky and upend each other’s lives in devastating ways. Between them is Alice\, Joel’s wife\, a wry\, passionate young woman who is being slowly asphyxiated by domestic tedium\, and whose longing collides with Emmett’s hunger for connection and desire to escape a sense of burgeoning failure and shame. As the chemistry between them escalates\, the family is plunged into a violent crucible\, each character brought to a precipice of immutable catastrophe. \nAbout the Authors: \nLee Cole is the author of GROUNDSKEEPING. He was born and grew up in rural western Kentucky. A recent graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop\, FULFILLMENT is his second novel. He lives in Philadelphia. \nScott Gloden lives in Philadelphia\, on unceded Lenape land. His stories have appeared in American Short Fiction\, Glimmer Train\, and StoryQuarterly. He has a professional background in public policy and works on homeless and housing initiatives. He is the author of the short story collection THE GREAT AMERICAN EVERYTHING. \nEmail events@theheadandthehand.com with any questions.
