Judy Blume has 8 past events. (show) Judy Blume: In the Unlikely Event Skip Viragh Center for the Arts at Chaminade College Preparatory Academy Left Bank Books and Maryville Talks Books present bestselling and beloved author Judy Blume, in conversation with Curtis Sittenfeld, author of Sisterland, to discuss her new novel for adults, In the Unlikely Event. The conversation will be followed by a booksigning. Ticket Information: $31 admits one and includes one copy of In the Unlikely Event. $36 admits two, includes one copy of In the Unlikely Event, and $5 will be rebatable towards the purchase of a second copy at the event.
When a series of passenger airplanes crashed in Elizabeth, New Jersey within a three-month period in 1951-1952, Judy Blume was a teenager. Against this background, Blume uses her imagination to bring us the lives of three generations of families, friends, and strangers, who will be profoundly affected by these events, either directly or indirectly. We see them coping not only with grief but with first love, estranged parents, difficult friendships, familial obligations, divorce, career ambitions, a grandparent's love, a widower's hope, and everything in between. In the Unlikely Event is filled with the same warmth and authenticity that have won Blume the hearts and minds of readers of all generations. Brown Paper Tickets Ticket Widget Loading...
