Summary: Debut novelist James Scott reads from and discusses his acclaimed first book The Kept. Set in rural New York state at the turn of the twentieth century, The Kept is a propulsive novel reminiscent of the works of Michael Ondaatje, Cormac McCarthy, and Bonnie Jo Campbell, in which a mother and her young son embark on a quest to avenge a terrible and violent tragedy that has shattered their secluded family. “With its vivid sense of time and place, lyrical writing, and complex questions of what constitutes a family, The Kept is an outstanding debut by a bright new voice in American fiction.” – Ron Rash, author of Nothing Gold Can Stay ($25.99) HarperCollins ISBN # 9780062236739.
