by Jane Stahl

Boyertown Area Expression's editors are always happy to share news about Boyertown High School's graduates.. On September 18, 2025, Jade  Doskow, Class of '96, is scheduled to appear with Emily Copley Eisenberg, author of Housemates, which won the Athaeneum of Philadelphia’s Literary Award for Fiction.

Emily shadowed Jade, a large format photographer, to understand the photographic process she ascribed to her novel's character, a young, queer Philadelphia photographer. The event will feature a reading from Housemates and a presentation of Doskow’s recent work.

The pair will offer insight into the ability of novels and photographer to "offer us better ways of seeing our current moment" and a demonstration of Jade's "modern large-format camera on site.”
