Writers Bloc with Ann Patchett | November 30

Thursday, November 30, 2023 — 7:30 pm

Please join Writer’s Bloc and The Ebell of Los Angeles for an evening of discussion with the best-selling author Ann Patchett about her new book Tom Lake.

A mother recounts her younger years to her adult daughters, including a whirlwind romance with a guy who is now a world-famous movie star. It’s a story of family love and destiny, and, like much of Patchett’s work, about finding peace and contentment as we come to terms with our choices.
