Join noted author and activist Deena Metzger for a reading from her haunting new novella, The Story That Must Not Be Told: A Dead Woman’s Memoir. The reading will be followed by a Q&A and book signing session. Deena will be introduced by Carolyn Brigit Flynn, author of Communion and the forthcoming The Light of Ordinary Days: An Irish American Journey Home.

About the book: In 1975, a German student, Ina Andreae, comes to Los Angeles to study, and later commits suicide. Fifty years later, her brother Wolfgang Andreae visits Deena Metzger, who was Ina’s teacher, to ask Deena what she knew. What followed from that alliance is this novella, a fiction that is not a fiction, an unfolding emergence of facts, events and stories, showing us how wounds going back to Hitler still affect us, and their startling resemblance to the grim political dramas of today.
