02.09: Nick Hornby in Conversation with Cheryl Strayed
2015-01-16 00:05:23| Powells Books Events Calendar
From Nick Hornby, the bestselling author of High Fidelity, About a Boy, and A Long Way Down, comes the highly anticipated new novel Funny Girl (Riverhead). Set in 1960s London, Funny Girl is a lively account of the adventures of the intrepid young Sophie Straw as she navigates her transformation from provincial ingénue to television starlet amid a constellation of delightful characters. Insightful and humorous, Hornby's latest does what he does best: endears us to a cast of characters who are funny if flawed, and forces us to examine ourselves in the process. Hornby will be joined in conversation by Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild and Tiny Beautiful Things.
