You’ll also be able to purchase books and have them signed. \n  \nThe event\, generously sponsored by Sue and Melvin Gray and presented in collaboration with StoryStudio Chicago\, is free to the public. \nMakkai’s latest book\, I Have Some Questions for You\, along with her 2018 novel The Great Believers\, are available for purchase at the Newberry Bookshop. \nWolitzer’s novels\, The Female Persuasion (2018) and The Interestings (2013) are available for purchase at the Newberry bookshop.

SUMMARY:Writing About Empire: Literature\, History\, and the American Past
DESCRIPTION:This program will be held in-person at the Newberry and livestreamed on Zoom. The online version of this event will be live captioned. Please register below. \nIn-Person Registration \nLivestream Registration \nHow do novelists and historians write about war\, empire\, and power? How do they translate deep research into compelling narrative? How do they think about evidence—and the absence of evidence—as they write? Are there lines between educating readers and providing them with gripping stories? \nThis installment of “Conversations at the Newberry” brings together two writers\, Nicholson Baker and Daniel Immerwahr\, who explore themes of American empire. Though they approach their work through different lenses and write in different styles\, both Baker and Immerwahr dig into the complex histories of US foreign relations. In this conversation\, they’ll think together about how literature and historical writing have shaped understandings of American power.
