HUDSON VALLEY YA SOCIETY: David Levithan, Sara Farizan and Bennett Madison

This event will be held at Oblong Books & Music, 6422 Montgomery St., Rhinebeck, NY.

RSVP Required: RSVP via email or Facebook and share this event with your friends!

David Levithan is a returning HVYAS fan favorite! David is an American children's book editor and award-winning author. He published his first YA book, Boy Meets Boy, in 2003. Levithan is also the founding editor of PUSH, a Young Adult imprint of Scholastic Press. David is following up his popular last novel Every Day, with Two Boys Kissing, forthcoming from Knopf Books for Young Readers (August 27, 2013) - a story based on true events that features Harry and Craig, two 17-year-olds who are about to take part in a 32-hour marathon of kissing to set a new Guinness World Record—all of which is narrated by a Greek Chorus of the generation of gay men lost to AIDS.

Sara Farizan was born in Massachusetts. Her parents immigrated from Iran in the seventies, her father a surgeon and her mother a homemaker. Sara grew up feeling different in her private high school not only because of her ethnicity but also because of her liking girls romantically, her lack of excitement in science and math, and her love of writing plays and short stories. She came out of the closet in college. She is an MFA graduate of Lesley University and holds a BA in film and media studies from American University. In her forthcoming book from Algonquin Young Readers If you could be mine (August 20, 2013), seventeen-year-old Sahar has been in love with her best friend, Nasrin, since they were six. They’ve shared stolen kisses and romantic promises. But Iran is a dangerous place for two girls in love—Sahar and Nasrin could be beaten, imprisoned, even executed if their relationship came to light.

Bennett Madison is the author of several books for teenagers, including The Blonde of the Joke (HarperTeen 2009) and hisnewest book September Girls (HarperTeen 2013). He grew up in Takoma Park, Maryland, went to Sarah Lawrence College, and lives in Brooklyn, New York, where he writes the Lulu Dark series. Bennett’s former occupations include: phone psychic, clothes-folder, no-nonsense receptionist, and writer of not-very-good cartoons.
