In preparation for the upcoming Association of Writers and Writing Programs Conference this April, Accents will be providing updates and highlights of our writers who are attending. Sarah Freligh, author of A Brief Natural History of an American Girl, will be signing copies of her newest release, Sad Math, at the conference. Sad Math has been described by Mark Irwin, author of White City, as “a marvelous arc that captures and explores what it means for all sentient beings to age and find the unreasonable sum of years.”
