The Front List: Ann Patchett

Ann Patchett is one of the most masterful and beloved writers of our time. Her new novel, Whistler, is a radiant story about the power of human connection to defy time, as a woman unexpectedly encounters her former stepfather years after a brief but life-shaping bond. In this unmissable conversation, the incomparable cartographer of human emotion, and author of Bel Canto and The Dutch House, reflects on memory, belonging, and a literary life devoted to exploring what makes us who we are. Chaired by Roxani Krystalli.

The livestream for this event will also be available on demand after the event ends.
