It is the first full-length academic study of MOVE since 1994 and is the first book to consider MOVE as a religion.

    A Reading with Lorene Cary

    Thursday, April 29, 2021
     7:00PM to 8:00PM
    Zoom (Virtual)

    Lorene Cary will read from her care-taking memoir Ladysitting: My Year with Nana at the End of Her Century (W.W. Norton Books, 2019). The narrative travels through five generations to find the roots of family love and rupture. In 2021 it was commissioned as a play for Arden Theater. Also, a resident in American Lyric Theater’s Composer & Librettist Development Program, Cary wrote a libretto that takes off from Ladysitting. Composer Liliya Ugay set a lyrical score for the one-act opera The Gospel According to Nana.
