Talk of the Stacks with Emma Cline — A young author on the rise discusses her debut novel The Girls

At just 26 years old, author Emma Cline is already making waves in the publishing world. The Columbia MFA grad and winner of the Paris Review’s 2014 Plimpton Prize generated a great deal of buzz when her debut novel, The Girls, set off a bidding war between 12 big-name publishing houses. Sold to Random House for a multi-million dollar three-book deal, The Girls (out June 14) has quickly become one of the most anticipated books of the summer. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jennifer Egan says, “Emma Cline’s first novel positively hums with fresh, startling, luminous prose. The Girls announces the arrival of a thrilling new voice in American fiction.” We hope you’ll join us for a chance to hear from Emma Cline at the launch of what is sure to be a very bright career.
