The Front List - Ann Patchett

Ann Patchett, author of Bel Canto, reflects on her literary life.

Ann Patchett is one of the most masterful and beloved writers of our time. Her new novel Whistler is a radiant story about the power of human connection to defy time, as a woman unexpectedly encounters her former stepfather years after a brief but life-shaping bond. In this unmissable conversation, the incomparable cartographer of human emotion, and author of Bel Canto and The Dutch House, reflects on memory, belonging, and a literary life devoted to exploring what makes us who we are.
