Join us for an interesting and timely discussion about the book I Made It Out of Clay, with Author Beth Kander. Please register below.

ABOUT THE BOOK:  I Made It Out of Clay is a contemporary novel set in Chicago about a woman at her wit's end who makes herself a golem. What could go wrong? Wry, funny, heartbreaking and ultimately uplifting, I MADE IT OUT OF CLAY is full of Jewish themes, from grief and golems to humor, hope, and finding strength in community. An instant USA Today bestseller. 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:  Beth Kander is a USA Today best-selling novelist and dramatist. Described as a “genre-defying author and playwright” (Oxford American), her writing often explores how worlds old and new connect—or collide. Her work has appeared in Oprah Daily, Writer’s Digest, Slackjaw, Frazzled, American Theatre, and elsewhere. Beth holds degrees from Brandeis University (BA), University of Michigan (MSW), and Mississippi University for Women (MFA), where she serves as adjunct Creative Writing faculty. She currently resides in Chicagoland, and is lucky to live there with her favorite characters: her husband and their two hilarious kids.
