Hosted by A Great Good Place for Books, local writer Jasmine Guillory will interview New York Times bestselling author Taylor Jenkins Reid about her new novel, “Carrie Soto Is Back.”
Hosted by the beloved bookstore A Great Good Place for Books in Oakland’s Montclair district, the in-person event will spotlight Taylor Jenkins Reid, a New York Times bestselling author of eight novels, discussing her new book, “Carrie Soto is Back,” with author Jasmine Guillory .
“The ever-changing landscape of the past two years has certainly kept us nimble, and it feels good to leave the Zoom room. We’re excited to welcome Taylor Jenkins Reid back in the Bay Area. ‘Carrie Soto is Back’ is Taylor Jenkins Reid at the top of her game. We are hugely grateful to Oakland’s own Jasmine Guillory for supporting us in live events in September. She’s a Bay Area gem.”
The topic finds its way into both writers’ novels, with Reid delving into daughter-father dynamics and Guillory opening the double folds of sister-brother and boss-employee relationships. Love floods the game and passions of professional tennis player Carrie Soto — and love yanks hearts in the sibling tug-of-war and romantic workplace temptations in Guillory’s novel.
While never completely abandoning characters developed in prior books Guillory introduces new characters in her latest novel. “I always start with an outline and know certain things, but learning who a character is and where they’ll take me is part of the fun of writing a novel. First drafts are messy, and I impose the structure in later drafts as I understand what I want to emphasize.”
