Don’t Be a Stranger

Don't Be a Stranger Susan Minot in conversation with Griffin Dunne
Wednesday, Nov 20, 2024 | 7:00pm Mark Taper Auditorium-Central Library

Enjoy an intimate conversation between the award-winning novelist, poet, playwright, and screenwriter Susan Minot and actor, director, and producer Griffin Dunne. These two close friends will discuss Minot’s engrossing new book, Don’t Be a Stranger.

Don’t Be a Stranger is the story of a woman swept into a love affair at mid-life. With spellbinding prose, Minot has crafted a luminous novel about erotic obsession, and the hunger for intimacy, communication, oblivion. Don’t Be a Stranger is a gripping, sensual, and provocative work from one of the most remarkable voices in contemporary fiction.
