Celebrate the book launch of Westporter Diane Parrish's debut novel Something Better at The Westport Library. Diane will be joined in conversation with her daughter and acclaimed author, Amanda Parrish Morgan.
About Something Better:
Diane Parrish is originally from the Midwest and now lives with her husband and their elderly Corgi in Connecticut, where they raised their two children. Her essays and short fiction have appeared in various literary journals and magazines. Something Better is her first novel.
Amanda Parrish Morgan is the author of Stroller (Bloomsbury) which The New Yorker named one of the best books of 2022, noting that “the central strength of the book is not comprehensiveness but the way the stroller, and Morgan’s experience of her own strollering years, become an omnidirectional magnet, pulling disparate material into friendly proximity.”
Some of Amanda’s writing has appeared in The Atlantic, Wired, The Rumpus, LitHub, Guernica, The Millions, n+1, The American Scholar, The Washington Post and elsewhere. Amanda lives in Connecticut with her husband and two kids, where she teaches at Fairfield University, The University of Chicago’s Graham School, and the Westport Writers’ Workshop.
