Author Visit: Shelby Van Pelt, Remarkably Bright Creatures (2022)

In conversation with Anna Katsavos, Shelby Van Pelt will discuss her best-selling debut novel, Remarkably Bright Creatures. Narrated by an ornery octopus that is bored and frustrated by his confinement in an aquarium, the book centers around the bond he forms with a 70-year-old widow who works the night shift as a cleaner and is tormented by her son's disappearance decades ago. Unusual, witty, and absorbing, this heartwarming book is a beautiful exploration of friendship and optimism in spite of loss.

Monday, Sept. 16, 1:30 p.m.-2:30 p.m.; Course fee $30.00,; a Zoom link will be sent the day before class. For more information and to register, click here.
