Julie Orringer in Conversation With Karen Thompson Walker
May 15, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeThe Flight Portfolio (Knopf), the long-awaited new work from Julie Orringer, author of The Invisible Bridge, takes us back to occupied Europe. The Flight Portfolio, a gripping historical novel of the very first order, is based on the true story of Varian Fry’s extraordinary attempt to save the work, and the lives, of Jewish artists fleeing the Holocaust. Orringer will be joined in conversation by Karen Thompson Walker, author of The Age of Miracles.
