Meg Wolitzer

Celebrated American novelist and chronicler of contemporary American life, Meg Wolitzer is the author of The Interestings; The Uncoupling; The Ten-Year Nap; The Position; The Wife; and, most recently, the YA novel Belzhar. Her short fiction has appeared in The Best American Short Stories and The Pushcart Prize. She is a frequent book critic for NPR's "All Things Considered," and a member of the creative writing faculty at Stony Brook. The Washington Post called her bestselling novel, The Interestings, "a sprawling, marvelously inventive novel...ambitious and enormously entertaining." It is "a supremely engrossing, deeply knowing, genius-level enterprise...The novel is thick and thickly populated. And yet Wolitzer is brilliant at keeping the reader close by her side as she takes her story back and forth across time, in and out of multiple lives, and into the tangle of countless continuing, sometimes compromising, conversations."

LLL Hosts Meg Wolitzer

Our last 2014 LLL event honors our non-profit partner, Literally Healing and best-selling author, Meg Wolitzer. Wolitzer will introduce and talk about her debut young adult novel, Belzhar ... which is a must read for readers of all ages. It goes on sale Tuesday, September 30. On Friday, October 17, Children's Hospital is partnering with Ladies, Lunch, and Literacy to create an event you will not soon forget. In addition to lunch with Meg Wolitzer we will have an opportunity to visit Literally Healing and hear about the program from those who are closest to it. After a year of buying books for children who must stay at the hospital, we will now have an opportunity to see the Literally Healing facility first hand. This is a lovely opportunity for all of us and we hope you will join us.

You may arrive as early as 11:15am for the first tour of Literally Healing which will begin at 11:30am. The second tour will begin at 11:45am. Those of us not touring will be able to talk with Meg Wolitzer and have their books signed

At noon, the buffet lunch will be open and our Children's Hospital host will talk about Literally Healing. Meg will speak at approximately 12:30. After lunch, there will be more time to have your books signed, take a tour (two more will be available), and continue your conversations. We hope this will allow as many of you as possible to see Literally Healing and gives you the flexibility to meet your scheduling needs. The cost for this event is $50. You will receive a signed first edition of Behzhar, have a delicious buffet lunch with Meg Woltzer, and tour Literally Healing.

Please make your reservation today by calling Emilio at the Redondo Beach store (310-542-6000). If you would prefer to make your reservation on-line, you may do so at Brown Paper Ticket.
