Boswell Book Company and the Pabst Theater Group present an evening with Ann Patchett, the prize-winning #1 New York Times bestselling writer. Patchett appears with her moving, luminous new novel, Whistler, a touching reflection on the sweetness and impermanence of life and the power of connection to defy time.

Each ticket includes an autographed copy of Whistler. Do note, there is no meet and greet with the author at this event.

Ann Patchett is author of novels including Bel Canto, Pulitzer finalist The Dutch House, and #1 New York Times bestseller Tom Lake, as well as works of nonfiction, and children's books. She’s won the PEN/Faulkner Award, the Women's Prize for Fiction, and the National Humanities Medal. Her novel The Dutch House was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Her work has been translated into more than thirty languages, and Time magazine named her one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World.

Whistler is a story about two adults looking back over the choices they made, and the choices that were made for them. It’s a story about bravery, memory, the often small yet consequential moments that define our lives, and the endless stream of loss that in time comes for us all. Beautiful in its simplicity, it is ultimately about how love endures, and how the feeling of being known by one other person, even for a short period of time, can change everything.
