Join Jennifer Kabat for a reading and discussion at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art.
In this Author Talk and discussion, Senior Curator Susan Cross talks with Kabat about her capacious memoir, The Eighth Moon: A Memoir of Belonging and Rebellion, in which the past comes alive in the present. When Jennifer Kabat moves to the Catskills, she has no idea that it was the site of the Anti-Rent War, an early episode of American rural populism — a rebellion, guns, and murder.

Jennifer Kabat was a finalist for the Notting Hill Editions’ essay prize and has been published in BOMB and The Best American Essays.
The Eighth Moon is at once a search for how to live in a place and an enigmatic lesson in a new kind of seeing—one where everything is connected, and all at once.
