One Book One Chicago

Conversation With Colm Tobin

Recommended by Claire Valley

It's April, and One Book One Chicago is going strong. On the 21st, the author of Brooklyn - Colm Tobin - will be sitting down with the Chicago Public Library Commissioner and an audience for a chat. For many, reading is not enough. We want background on the author, the context of the novel, and ViP insider information. This author event should give you just that. Tobin will discuss writing One Book One Chicago's latest novel, his own life, and what's next on his writing plate.

Insider Info: Usual Harold Washington author events tend to be a mad house, but usually a mad house of a specific type of Chicagoan. One Book One Chicago has been touted all over Chicago, however. Please expect the usual madness to be exaggerated; plan your standing in line diversions accordingly.
