If you’re a hopeless people-watcher or your ears perk when you overhear bizarre or intimate thoughts, you’ll be interested in The Ties that Bind, the latest from Dallas Museum of Art’s Arts & Letters Live series, with authors Claire Messud and Meg Wolitzer. Wolitzer’s list of successful novels testifies to her status as an expert social observer. Her latest, The Interestings, follows childhood friends into adult life in Manhattan, where different measures of success and happiness are weighed in the protagonist’s mirror. Messud’s The Woman Upstairs is angrily narrated by a disillusioned schoolteacher who becomes obsessed and embroiled in relationships with one of her student’s parents. The character, too angry to be readable or likable for some, has also brought intrigue and interest in the book. The Ties that Bind is at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Horchow Auditorium (1717 N. Harwood St.). Tickets are $15 to $35. See dma.org for details.
Wed., March 26, 7:30 p.m., 2014
