Part craft talk, part happy hour, Fiction and Nonfiction Walk Into a Bar brings the best of literary conversation out on the town.


Join genre-crossing literary stars Alexander Chee (bestselling author of How to Write an Autobiographical Novel) and Hernán Díaz (Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Trust) for a lively conversation as they tackle the question: Where does truth end and fiction begin? Explore the space between what's true and what's invented on the page with two writers who've made careers of blurring the line and are ready to share how and why it works.


The party will continue at the Rockwell after the conversation, with drinks, fun, and book sales provided by our partners at Porter Square Books.

This event is 21+ and tickets include a free drink.
