Established 1899
Nationally celebrated writer Lindsay Hill returns to the Hudson Valley after 12 years! Known for expanding the boundaries of flash fiction into novel form, LA-based Hill comes east following a West Coast tour in support of his newest and locally published book, Tidal Lock—hailed by critics as “complex, mysterious, intriguing” and “the best, most inventive novel I’ve read in ages.” The Hudson Valley holds a special fascination for the California native who attended Bard, and whose latest protagonist is named “Olana” after Frederick Church’s iconic house.
