Peterborough - Katie Hafner introducing and signing "The Boys"

Saturday, July 9, 2022 - 2:00pm

Katie Hafner discussing and signing The Boys  in an interview format conducted by Sue Scott. Based on the barest snippet of a story Hafner heard on a bike trip in 2017, The Boys is a daring novel about loneliness, connection, love, isolation, and healing—pretty much in that order. Hafner tells the story of an introverted, endearing man, and the two women who help him navigate his way through a world that has grown increasingly menacing.

      Katie Hafner is a journalist and author who writes frequently for The New York Times and The Washington Post. She is the author of six non-fiction books including Mother Daughter Me, a memoir ; A Romance on Three Legs: Glenn Gould's Obsessive Quest for the Perfect Piano ; Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins of the Internet (with Matthew Lyon). She is host and co-executive producer of the popular podcast, Lost Women of ScienceThe Boys is her first novel. She lives in San Francisco and visits the Monadnock region in the summer.
