SUMMARY:Gothic Tale of Freindship: Norah Labiner Presents Morocco
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nIn this intricate tale\, a woman untangles her enduring b
 ond with an heiress who she is still trying to understand…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
 Join Subtext Books at the University Club of Saint Paul (420 Summit Ave) o
 n Thursday\, October 15th at 7 PM for an author event with Norah Labiner\,
  presenting her latest novel\, Morocco!\n\nMorocco takes place in Chicago\
 , the turn of the 21st century. Our narrator—always there and never enti
 rely present—recounts her decades-long relationship with the heiress\, K
 atherine Stern. Through the years since boarding school\, she has seen Kat
 herine as a daughter who wants for nothing but respect from her psychother
 apist father\, as a woman with a kind\, but fortune-hunting fiancée\, and
  as a mystery even more confounding than the gothic horror stories she eva
 luates from the slush pile at her job. Sometimes\, despite their estrangem
 ent\, she has even seen Katherine as a friend.\n\nInspired by the classic 
 story Washington Square by Henry James\, Norah Labiner reimagines the prol
 ific tale. Moving through wintery Michigan avenue to the creeping mansions
  of the rich to the world of melodrama\, ghosts\, and girls. Morocco confr
 onts the ambiguity of memory\, the horrors of history\, and what it means\
 , or does not mean\, to read a book and tell a story.\n\nNorah Labiner is 
 the author of the novels Our Sometime Sister\, Miniatures\, German for Tra
 velers\, and Let the Dark Flower Blossom (Coffee House Press). She has rec
 eived a Minnesota Book Award for Literary Fiction and currently lives in M
 innesota.\n\nMike Wisti is a songwriter/musician. His indie rock band Rank
  Strangers has released 24 records. Rank Strangers new album Ribizza is av
 ailable Fall 2026 on Veto Records. He is the founder of Albatross recordin
 g studio. He lives in Minneapolis.\n\nBooks will be for sale at the event.
  This event is free. The University Club bar is open 4 - 8 PM. Free street
  parking on Summit Ave and surrounding streets.\n\n\n
