In Conversation at Hotel El Roblar: Chiara Barzini & Kate Schatz

Free with RSVP.

Barzini's book Aqua is a genre-bending work of memoir, travel, and cultural history, tracing the stories of how water reshaped Los Angeles, the history of film, and the American imaginiation. Schatz's aclaimed debut novel Where The Girls Were is a haunting historical fiction that follows a pregnant 17-year old as she's sent to a home for unwed mothers in San Francisco during the summer of '68.

Together, these books explore what is hidden, controlled, displaced, and erased. Kate & Chiara will be in conversation with each other, and the audience, addressing how writers draw courage from one another, how cities script our inner lives, and how histories live inside the body.

Books will be available for purchase, followed by a book signing after the talk.
