Launch Party for "Goodbye to All That"

Diesel, A Bookstore in Brentwood presents the launch party for Goodbye to All That on Sunday, November 3rd at 3pm. Come celebrate the release of this fantastic new anthology with contributors Hope Edelman, Meghan Daum, Rayhane Sanders, and editor Sari Botton.

Goodbye to All That
is a
collection of essays about loving and leaving the magical city of New
York. Inspired by Joan Didion's essay by the same name, this
anthology features the experiences of 28 women for whom the magic of the
city has worn off, for any number of reasons: because of loneliness
after many friends
marry and head to the suburbs, jadedness about job and career prospects,
or the difficulty of finding true love in one of the world's most
hectic cities.

This anthology features contributions from a diverse group of authors including Cheryl Strayed,
Ann Hood, Dani Shapiro, and Emma Straub. Each
essay explores the author's unique relationship with New York City,
and together they encompass the complicated emotions all New Yorkers
have about loving (and leaving) their city.
