Norah Vincent, Adeline: A Novel of Virginia Woolf
A unique night of literature in performance with readings by Suzanne Bertish

Donaghy Theatre
Irish Arts Center
553 West 51st Street
New York, NY 10019

(Between 10th and 11th Avenues)
Take the C or E train to 50th St (8th Ave); the 1 train to 50th St (Broadway); or the N, R, or Q train to 49th St (7th Ave). Walk west towards 11th Ave. It is roughly a 10 minute walk. A parking garage is located on W. 51st between 10th and 11th Ave.


On April 18, 1941, twenty-two days after Virginia Woolf went for a walk near her weekend house in Sussex and never returned, her body was reclaimed from the River Ouse. Norah Vincent’s Adeline: A Novel of Virginia Woolf reimagines the events that brought Woolf to the riverbank, offering us a denouement worthy of its protagonist.

The New York Times best-selling author Norah Vincent’s boldly imagined portrait of Woolf will be brought to life as award-winning actress Polly Lee (as seen recently on The Americans) performs excerpts of the newly released novel. After the reading, Vincent will sit down for a conversation with Honor Molloy, author of Smarty Girl.

Norah Vincent is The New York Times bestselling author of Self-Made Man, as well as two other books. Formerly an op-ed columnist for the Los Angeles Times, she has also contributed regularly to Salon, The Advocate, and The Village Voice. She lives in New York City.
