Jean Hanff Korelitz at 204 Main Bistro for Authors Hour

SHARON SPRINGS – Jean Hanff Korelitz, noted novelist, playwright, and essayist, will be talking about her latest thriller, The Sequel, as well as her other writings on Sunday, July 27 at 1PM at 204 Main, a bistro on Rt. 10 in Sharon Springs.  

In 2024, The New York Times named her novel The Plot one of the 10 Best Thriller Novels. The Sequel, published in October 2024, is a continuation of that thriller. Her novels are thrillers, mysteries or puzzles and often feature writers or academia. Her plots are complex; she plays with ethical dilemmas such as plagiarism or identity; and her work can be suspenseful, satiric, and provocative. 

Her first novel was a legal thriller, A Jury of her Peers, published in 1996. Other novels include The White Rose, Admission, You Should Have Known, The Devil and Webster, and The Latecomer.  Admission was the basis for a film. You Should Have Known was adapted as an HBO’s limited series known as The Undoing  and The Plot is in development for a Hulu limited series. 

Jean Korelitz was raised in New York City and graduated Cum Laude from Dartmouth College. Before writing novels, Ms. Korelitz wrote poetry. She received a postgraduate degree from Clare College, Cambridge, England and won a major award for her poetry. She holds pop-up author gatherings, and she participates in many book festivals, podcasts, and interviews.
