Tim Murphy '91

on his novel

Speech Team

Called "hugely absorbing and deeply hearetfelt" by the Star-Tribune, "bittersweet, witty and rife with '80's nostalgia" by Bustle and a "sweeping, character-driven story" by Murphy fan Andy Cohen, Speech Team is the fast-moving tale of four queer and misfit friends from 1980's high school who reunite 25 years later to track down their teacher and speech team coach who was both their mentor and tormentor. (And it's partly set in Providence and partly in New Jersey.)

At the meet-up, Murpy - a longtime NYC-based freelance journalist who is also the author of the acclaimed novels Christodora and Correspondents - will talk about what inspired Speech Team, answer questions about it and talk about the writing process.

Don't miss this opportunity to engage with Murphy, delve into his latest work, and get your copy of Speech Team personally signed!!

Light fare & cocktails will be served.
