In her highly praised books, Anne Lamott invites readers to share her most intimate moments, from her father’s fatal battle with brain cancer in Hard Laughter to her own struggles with addiction in Traveling Mercies. With self-effacing humor and honesty, Lamott presents real-life questions about faith, grief and family. Her best-selling books do not shy from anger or pain. Nonetheless, it is her hope, wit, and authenticity that resonate most in all of her work.

Armed with a lot of charm, and a comic’s sense of timing, journalist, novelist and short-story author Elizabeth Gilbert is one of those few writers who writes the way she talks, and talks the way she writes—with intelligence, wit and undeniable quirkiness. Her most recent memoir, Eat, Pray, Love, chronicles the year she spent traveling around the world in search of personal restoration after a difficult divorce.

These two best-selling writers join forces in a very special evening of readings, commentary and audience questions.
