Matt Haig – The Midnight Train

JCCSF and Litquake welcome international bestselling author Matt Haig for an evening celebrating The Midnight Train, a spellbinding new time-traveling story set in the imaginative universe of his worldwide sensation The Midnight Library.

What if you could revisit the moments that shaped your life—and choose differently?

When Wilbur boards the mysterious Midnight Train, he is given the rare chance to travel back to pivotal moments from his past and see what might have been. For Wilbur, every path leads back to Maggie—the love of his life, and the life he once imagined but lost. But revisiting the past comes with a cost, and changing even one moment may alter everything that follows.

With the warmth, imagination, and emotional insight that have made him one of the most beloved storytellers of our time, Haig explores regret, possibility, and the fragile magic of second chances.

Matt appears in conversation with Margaret Wilkerson Sexton.

Presented in partnership with Litquake and Green Apple Books.
