The Slate family’s rambling colonial house just outside of Boston may be haunted, but it’s definitely full of surprises. Kitchen and bedrooms, yard and garden – all trigger memories from brilliant actress and comedian Jenny Slate and her father, renowned poet and essayist Ron Slate. In About the House, the Slates share their family stories, memories, quirks, and confessions in a singular collection of stories, essays, and poems that range from profound to profane. Remarkably touching, often hilarious, and unfailingly human, this unusual father-daughter dialogue takes a look at family like no other work since…well, since nothing else. Beautifully illustrated by Karl Stevens (Boston Phoenix, Village Voice) who will also be in attendance.


About the House will be distributed for free at this reading. The Concord Free Press asks only that you make a donation to a charity you support or give money to someone in need, then pass the book on. The first ten books published by the CFP have inspired more than $1 million in generosity around the world. Copies of About the House will be limited to the first 50 customers in line.
