X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><em>About the author:</em></p>\n<p><strong
 >Jill Bialosky</strong> is the author of five acclaimed collections of poe
 try\, including&nbsp\;<em>Asylum</em>\, a finalist for the National Jewish
  Book Award\; three critically acclaimed novels\, including\,&nbsp\;<em>Th
 e Prize</em>\;&nbsp\;a&nbsp\;<em>New York Times</em>&nbsp\;best-selling me
 moir\,&nbsp\;<em>History of a Suicide: My Sister&rsquo\;s Unfinished Life<
 /em>\;&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;<em>Poetry Will Save Your Life: A Memoir</em>.&nbsp
 \;Her work has been a finalist for the James Laughlin Award\, the Paterson
  Poetry Prize\, and the Books for a Better Life Award. In 2014\, she was h
 onored by the Poetry Society of America for her distinguished contribution
  to poetry. She is an executive editor at W. W. Norton &amp\; Company and 
 lives in New York City.&nbsp\;<br /><br />In <strong><em>The Deceptions</e
 m></strong>\, an unnamed narrator&rsquo\;s life is unraveling. Her only ch
 ild has left home\, and her twenty-year marriage is strained. Anticipation
  about her soon-to-be-released book of poetry looms. She seeks answers to 
 the paradoxes of love\, desire\, and parenthood among the Greek and Roman 
 gods at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As she passes her days teaching at
  a boys&rsquo\; prep school\, spending her off-hours sequestered in the mu
 seum&rsquo\;s austere galleries\, she is haunted by memories of a yearlong
  friendship with a colleague\, a fellow poet struggling with his craft. As
  secret betrayals and deceptions come to light and rage threatens to overw
 helm her\, the pantheon of gods assume remarkably vivid lives of their own
 \, forcing her to choose between reality and myth in an effort to free her
 self from the patriarchal constraints of the past and embrace a new vision
  for her future.</p>\n<p>Jill Bialosky will be in conversation with <stron
 g>Paula McLain</strong>\, the&nbsp\;<em>New York Times</em>&nbsp\;bestsell
 ing author of the novels&nbsp\;<em>Love and Ruin</em>\,&nbsp\;<em>Circling
  the Sun</em>\,&nbsp\;<em>The Paris Wife</em>\, and&nbsp\;<em>A Ticket to 
 Ride</em>\, the memoir&nbsp\;<em>Like Family: Growing Up in Other People&r
 squo\;s Houses</em>\,&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;two collections of poetry. Her most 
 recent novel is&nbsp\;<strong><em>When the Stars Go Dark</em></strong>. He
