Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Strout returns to Symphony Space to celebrate her latest novel. Twining her most iconic characters together into one narrative for the first time, Tell Me Everything brims with Strout's signature radical empathy and illuminates the power of connection through storytelling.
Liz will be in conversation with Meg Wolitzer (The Female Persuasion). A reading from the novel will be performed by Patricia Kalember (Power).
* This event has been moved to a larger theater to accommodate a larger audience. Tickets are once again available!
