Join Litquake supporters at an intimate dinner with Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist Andrew Sean Greer. Attendees will enjoy a delicious Italian-inspired dinner accompanied by a variety of exclusive Saintsbury wines, and will receive a complimentary signed hardcover of Greer's latest novel, Villa Coco. 

About the Program

Every new novel by Andrew Sean Greer is cause for celebration, perhaps no more so than Villa Coco. Here he brings his signature wit and sparkling storytelling to a sun-drenched tale set in his adopted home country of Italy. After winning the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for his fifth novel, Less, Greer published a well-received companion novel, Less Is Lost. Now he introduces readers to a new, but equally engaging, central character—a young aspiring archivist who takes up the project of a lifetime, cataloguing the belongings of a Baronessa and becoming enmeshed in her colorful world, all while navigating what it means to be an adult in the world. Ron Charles writes, "How quickly one falls under the spell of this perfect summer diversion about a young man trying to figure out what kind of 'life of consequence' he's going to lead."

Here's your chance to enjoy an intimate, in-depth conversation with Greer about everything under the (Tuscan) sun, accompanied by a delicious Italian-inflected dinner and exclusive Saintsbury wines, all while supporting the Litquake Foundation's mission to inspire critical engagement with the issues of the day.
