Memoirs open windows into lives, granting readers access to deeply personal narratives. Whether they reflect our own experiences or challenge us to engage with new ones, the best memoirs enhance and complicate our understanding of the world. Join three dazzling memoirists, Nicole Chung, Isaac Fitzgerald, and Margo Jefferson, in conversation with 2023 debut memoirist and critic Bethanne Patrick. 

We will provide live captioning.
