About the Event:
New York Times bestselling author Ann Patchett makes her Chicago Humanities debut to discuss Whistler, a luminous novel about the small yet consequential moments that shape a life — and the remarkable power of feeling truly known by another person. When Daphne Fuller, now fifty-three, unexpectedly reunites with the stepfather she hasn’t seen since a fateful event upended both their lives decades ago, time collapses and a profound connection is restored. Join us for an evening with one of America's most celebrated novelists as she explores memory, loss, bravery, and the enduring question of how love, even for a short period of time, can change everything.
This event is presented in partnership with the Athenaeum Center for Thought & Culture
