About this event

Join us at the inaugural launch of the HRP Mamas book group!

We will host recurring events with fiction and non-fiction writers - with an emphasis on authors who are parents.

For our first event we welcome Sophie Brickman who will read and share thoughts from her new book: Plays Well With Others.

Sophie Brickman is a writer, reporter and editor based in New York City. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Saveur, The San Francisco Chronicle, the Best Food Writing compilation, and the Best American Science Writing compilation, among other places. She is currently a contributor at The Guardian.

Her first book, Baby, Unplugged, about the intersection of parenting and technology, was published by Harper One in Fall 2021, received a starred review from Publisher’s Weekly, and landed her a spot on Good Morning America. Her first novel, Plays Well With Others—a satirical epistolary romp through New York City, following the life of one mother as it begins to unravel in spectacular fashion—was published by William Morrow in summer 2024, and billed as the love child of Where'd you got, Bernadette and Flesichman is in Trouble. Good Housekeeping deemed it "heavenly hilarity for readers," Emily Oster enthusiastically called it "“a delightfully hilarious and wildly recognizable portrait of parenting," and the hilarious Ellie Kemper said she "devoured" the book.
