Two of the year’s most talked about novelists, Emma Straub and Gabrielle Zevin, share the stage to discuss their acclaimed new books.
The much-loved author of Modern Lovers and The Vacationers, Straub introduces This Time Tomorrow, a novel that subverts time travel tropes to tell a story of cherishing what we have while we can. A New York Times–bestseller, Zevin sheds light on Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, a stylish, open-hearted love story set in a world of creativity and video gaming. They speak with Brodie Lancaster.
