September 28, 2017 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm
Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist Michael Chabon joins veteran broadcaster Eric Friesen to talk about Michael’s latest, most luminous work, the auto-biographical novel, Moonglow. In a conversation that is sure to be elevated and erudite as well as entertaining, they explore the author’s playful flirtation with the boundary between fact and fiction. About the writing of this novel, The Guardian calls Chabon “a master at his very best.” Please join this master for an evening that will remind us of the power of the written word to transport and enlighten.
8:00 – 9:30 pm
Grand Theatre, Regina Rosen Auditorium
