The Literary Committee of the National Arts Club Presents

In-Person & Online

With her trademark spare, crystalline prose, Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout follows the indomitable heroine of My Name Is Lucy Barton through the early days of the pandemic in her new novel, Lucy by the Sea.

At the heart of the book are the deep human connections that unite us even when we’re apart. Strout has been praised for her “radical empathy,” and in Lucy by the Sea her voice is infused with “intimate, fragile, desperate humanness” (The Washington Post).

This in-person event will also be live-streamed on the National Arts Club YouTube channel.

Reading followed by on-stage Q&A with Conference Director, Les Standiford
