Amazon hailed Peter Behrens’s GG–winning The Law of Dreams as one of the best books of the decade. He returns with The O’Briens, which follows the same family, two generations later, as they spread across the continent throughout the twentieth century. In Requiem, acclaimed novelist Frances Itani tells the story of visual artist Bin Okuma as he travels the country in search of the father whose fateful decision almost destroyed his family. Evocative and compelling, these family sagas explore how the past carries forward and the ways in which love, loss, and redemption shape ordinary lives. Moderated by Eric Friesen.

General Admission: $12.50/$16.00 at the door.
