The fall chill has arrived in Chicago! Cozy up in the bookstore for one (or more) of these November book events!
Join us in celebrating Sara Paretksy’s latest release, Bad Company! The date of this event is especially auspicisous as it coincides with Women & Children First’s 47th birthday! We’ve had the honor of hosting Sara for nearly every book she’s published throughout her prolific career; we’re thrilled to welcome her back once more for this book-signing and conversation with mystery writer Lori Rader-Day!
A hilarious thrill ride exploring the mysteries of the mind-body connection, Gemma Correll’s graphic memoir is shot through with the absurd knowledge that there is no linear way through Anxietyland, nor any cure-alls—but there are ways to feel better if you keep trying to move forward.
Join Ebony Walden to discuss her new book, “Where I’m From: A Poetic Journey Across Five Continents” , in conversation with Deborah D. Douglas, author of “The U.S. Civil Rights Trail: A Traveler’s Guide to the People, Places, and Events That Made the Movement” Ebony’s soulful memoir follows her journey backpacking and volunteering across five continents and fifteen countries, where she wrote “Where I’m From” poems with new friends. Together, they will explore Black diasporic travel, cultural memory, and how journeys across landscapes shape history, identity, and belonging, followed by an audience Q&A and book signing.
A visually striking exploration of money—and the lack of it—in America told through the lives of ten individuals, from a Pulitzer Prize–winning data journalist and artist.
Mijares asks readers to linger in the white spaces between phrases and swim in the undercurrents of thought, moving from the microscopic to the mythic. Violent wave is both landscape and journey, inviting the reader to wade through its depths and surface profoundly changed.
This National Poetry Series–winning debut collection asks how we can make meaning in our lives during a time of ecological crisis and rampant social injustice.
