Bestselling novelist Brit Bennett crafts stories that shimmer with emotional depth and historical insight. Author of The Vanishing Half and The Mothers, she explores identity, legacy, and the unspoken tensions that shape American life. A National Book Foundation “5 Under 35” honoree, Bennett has been praised by The Atlantic for prose that is “as luminous as it is devastating.” In conversation with a local literary voice, she’ll discuss her acclaimed body of work, the power of fiction to reimagine the past, and her anticipated new novel. A book signing will follow this rare literary evening.
