Event Details

From Pride and Prejudice to Twilight, America has cast their vote and pretty soon the countdown to America's number one pick for The Great American Read will be in! 

Join the Dallas Public Library and KERA as we host a panel with Authors, Kathleen Kent, Jane Harris, Will Clarke, and Brooke Fossey; with Kit Lively from KERA as moderator. Listen as these authors discuss these 100 books and the book(s) that influenced them the most as a writer and author.   

Stay for a screening of the episode "Who Am I?" -How do the books we love answer the question “Who am I?”.  This episode explores first-person narratives and other ways authors tell stories of characters on personal journeys. The screening will happen at 3 p.m. and immediately following join us for a reception where you can meet and talk with the authors while enjoying some light refreshments and snacks.
