Sigrid Nunez is coming to the Beverly Theater, the exact spot that author André Aciman absolutely packed two weeks ago for his own book reading. This time the New York City-based Sigrid will be reading from her latest novel, The Vulnerables. A lot is going on in this pandemic-set book, which is very much rooted in the malaise and tribulations of the modern era, but also expressed and processed through the lens of the past. It’s heavily reliant on our connections with one another. Bonus: Apparently it’s also funny and features a parrot.

Nunez will be speaking to former Black Mountain Institute Shearing Fellow, Tajja Isen. She’ll also be signing her book, which comes with your ticket, so don’t fret if you haven’t read it yet — you will.
