Talk • Booksigning
International literary sensation Marian Keyes has become famous for her unique ability to write about life’s most painful situations?including alcoholism, abuse, infidelity and illness?with a refreshing combination of darkness and light. Her voice is deeply honest and accessible as she skillfully portrays all of the comic and tragic elements of life. In her latest book Anybody Out There? she takes a look at love now and ever after. Set: where else? The Big Apple.

Keyes began writing in 1993 and is the author of seven international
bestselling novels—Watermelon, Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married,

the Duvet and Cracks in My Foundation. A household name in the UK,
her books are published in 35 countries, translated into over 30 languages
