Mona Simpson book signing

BOOKS

If Marilynne Robinson can wait 14 years between “Housekeeping” and “Gilead,” then Mona Simpson can take 10 years between her novel, “Off Keck Road” and her latest work, “My Hollywood.” Intertwining the lives of two women — a composer married to a TV writer, and a Filipina nanny — Simpson examines the latest conditions of motherhood and marriage. Skylight Books, 1818 N. Vermont Ave. 7:30 p.m. Thurs. (323) 660-1175.
