The Hound Books Presents: Lucy Sante
The Hound Books is back at Seminary Hill Catskills. Join us for our first intimate author conversation on Sunday, November 16 at 11 am when we welcome celebrated writer and cultural historian Lucy Sante back to Sullivan County. We'll explore her acclaimed memoir I Heard Her Call My Name, as well as other works like Nineteen Reservoirs, Six Sermons for Bob Dylan, and Kill All Your Darlings.
I Heard Her Call My Name is a memoir exploring Sante's late-in-life gender transition, focusing on aging, vanity, and self-discovery. Nineteen Reservoirs is a The Hound Books bestseller, examining the creation of New York City's upstate water supply system and the communities that were displaced to bring water to the city. Six Sermons for Bob Dylan collects the full texts of sermons Sante wrote—inspired by Black preachers of the 1920s and '30s—for Trouble No More, a documentary film about Dylan's gospel years. Kill All Your Darlings gathers the author’s essays on music, art, photography, and poetry, including reflections on New York's underground history and outsider culture. Maybe the People Would be The Times is a collection held together by autobiography, with most pieces rooted in Sante's experiences on the Lower East Side of New York in the 1970s and 80s.
We packed a lot into our time with Lucy and hope you’ll join us for brunch, coffee or just a conversation on November 16th.
This reservation is for informational purposes only. It helps us order enough books for everyone and make sure the restaurant is preapred to host. To make a reservation for your party size, please contact Seminary Hill Catskills directly.
Lucy Sante is the author of Low Life, Evidence, The Factory of Facts, Kill All Your Darlings, Folk Photography, The Other Paris, Maybe the People Would Be the Times, and Nineteen Reservoirs. In fact, her Nineteen Reservoirs has been sitting on top of The Hound Books Bestseller list in the #1 spot since we opened our doors in 2022! Her awards include a Whiting Writers Award, an Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a Grammy Award (for album notes), an Infinity Award from the International Center of Photography, and Guggenheim and Cullman Center fellowships. She recently retired after twenty-four years teaching at Bard College.
