Hilary Leichter completes our Work and Labor Panel!

Joining Marcia Chatelain and Kim Kelly on our Work and Labor panel, we’re thrilled to welcome Hilary Leichter, author of the dazzling novel, Temporary. Praised by the New York Times as being “wildly imaginative,” it’s a searing examination of how a job - any job - can commodify us and strip us of our humanity. Simultaneously profound and hysterically funny, it will resonate with anyone who has ever done their best at work.

Hilary Leichter is the author of the novel Temporary, which was shortlisted for The Center for Fiction First Novel Prize and was a finalist for the NYPL Young Lions Fiction Award. Her writing has appeared in n+1, The New Yorker, Harper's, and The New York Times, and she has received fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts, Yaddo, Leipzig University, and the Folger Shakespeare Library. Hilary teaches at Columbia University and lives in Brooklyn, NY. Her next two novels are forthcoming from Ecco.
