Book Launch: Emma Straub presents The Vacationers in paperback
In conversation with Kerry Diamond

Beloved Brooklyn author Emma Straub first captured audiences in 2012 with her breakout story collection Other People We Married, and followed up with the sprawling historical novel Laura Lamont’s Life in Pictures. Her most recent novel The Vacationers, officially released in paperback on June 2, brings a vivid, contemporary setting to life, and revives some familiar characters from her stories, in an irresistible, deftly observed novel about the secrets, joys and jealousies that rise to the surface over the course of a family’s two-week stay in Mallorca, Spain. Elizabeth Gilbert writes “I would read anything Emma Straub writes…I came to care so deeply about every single character in this great travelogue of a novel that I found myself unable to go to sleep at night until I was certain they had all landed safely.” Straub talks about her book at Greenlight’s exclusive pre-publication paperback launch event with Kerry Diamond, editor in chief of YahooFood and co-founder of Cherrybombe magazine.
