Local novelist Daphne Uviller will discuss her new book This Was Not Plan with former NARAL (Reproductive Freedom for All) president, and local resident Allison Fine.
This Was Not The Plan starts out as a funny and sharply observed campus novel and then deepens into a thought-provoking examination of the complicated and always thorny politics of abortion. Daphne Uviller is a shrewd and compassionate writer, able to imagine a wide variety of intersecting lives and outlooks and find humor in even the darkest moments.
Daphne Uviller is also the author of the Zephyr Zuckerman series Super in the City, Hotel No Tell, and Wife of the Day, which were optioned for television by Paramount and Silver Lake Entertainment, and she is the co-editor, with Deborah Siegel, of the anthology Only Child: Writers on the Singular Joys and Solitary Sorrows of Growing Up Solo.
Allison Fine was the national chair of the board of Reproductive Freedom for All (formerly NARAL). She has also served on the boards of the Women of Reform Judaism and was a founding board member of Civic Hall, a hub for civic technology in New York City. Allison has written four influential books, including her most recent work co-authored with Beth Kanter, The Smart Nonprofit: Staying Human-Centered in an Automated World.
