Books

Eileen’s new essay collection, Maybe It’s Me, appeared on January 25, 2022. Publisher’s Weekly and LitHub heralded the launch as one of their most anticipated books of the month; the book received rave reviews from PW, Kirkus, and the Forward.

Eileen will be talking about the book with Cheryl Pearl Sucher, via McNally Jackson Bookstore, on Thursday, January 27, at 7 PM.

Eileen will be reading in NYC on Monday, July 25, 2022, at 8 PM, as part of the Scribblers on the Roof series at Ansche Chesed, 251 W 100th St … and yes, the event takes place on the roof! She will be appearing with her friend and former colleague, the brilliant Yiddish scholar Anita Norich.

Eileen also will be reading (and selling copies of her books) on Saturday, August 13, at the Watertown Arts Market in Arsenal Park in her new hometown, Watertown, MA. The art fair takes place between noon and 5 PM … Eileen’s (brief) reading will begin at 1 PM, after which she will emcee the readings by her fellow Watertown writers.

She will also be reading on Monday, Nov. 7, 2022, at 7:30 PM, at the JCC in Cherry Hill, NJ.

Eileen is excited to be appearing at the RANCHO MIRAGE LITERARY FESTIVAL (CA) February 2023, where she will be interviewed by Patt Morrison of the Los Angeles Times. Details at http://www.rmwritersfest.org/writers/
