Join us for this month's online author talks, where we’ll hear about 9/11 and D-Day through oral histories, the benefits of living open-mindedly, and a dramatic, fictional mystery on free will and destiny.

Each author talk offers the opportunity to submit questions for an author Q&A. Registration is required for the live events. If you can’t attend live, register anyways and you’ll receive a recording of the event.
