All Sessions

One of the highlights of the Midwinter Meeting is getting to hear and see favorite authors up close. The ERT/Booklist Author Forum kicks the meeting off in style on Friday afternoon when authors representing different voices come together to discuss their work as it relates to exploring social conditions past and present in fiction and nonfiction. Highly acclaimed authors Helen Schulman and Hillary Jordan will share with moderator Brad Hooper, Adult Books Editor at Booklist, their own special approaches to capturing society at large and family in particular, either in contemporary times or in the historical past. The authors will sign copies of their latest works at their publishers' booths during the Opening Exhibits Reception right after the Author Forum.
