Best-selling author Eve Smith is coming today at 12pm SLT. Her new novel “Off Target” couldn’t be more timely: a tight near-future thriller about gene editing, the mad anxiety of motherhood (and fatherhood!) with so called “pro-lifers” violently opposing any tampering, nefarious forces stealing/selling celebrity sperm (I am NOT kidding !!!) and a terror that is irrespective of past/present/future: that of a smart and sensitive teenager, trying to fit in with a normative society while feeling betrayed by her own mother … Bring your stories and be prepared to answer questions such as “Would you tell your spouse the baby is not his and that you edited her genes to obscure that one-night stand you had?”
