A couple of years ago, authors Ann Patchett and Elizabeth Gilbert met during a writers’ conference and through a series of letters became fast friends. They will be at the Portland Center for the Performing Arts, discussing topics ranging from their literary works to their friendship to their own unique creative processes. Patchett is the author of such works as Truth and Beauty and Run while Gilbert’s legacy includes The Last American Man and her bestselling Eat, Pray, Love.
Where: Portland Center for Performing Arts
When: 7:30pm
Cost: $12-28*

*currently, this event is sold out, but I wanted to post it anyway. How great is it when two talented writers want to share their experiences and the stage at the same time? Sounds amazing!
