Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman

Last month’s klatsch between Robert Bly and Donald Hall was such fun, we’re eager to sit in on the next tete-a-tete in Garrison Keillor’s “Literary Friendships” series. This time, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Michael Chabon (The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay) and public defender-turned-novelist Ayelet Waldman take to the stage with Keillor. In 1999, The New Yorker named Chabon one of the twenty best American writers of fiction under forty; meanwhile, Waldman, his wife, was cooking up her spicy Mommy-Track Mystery series. Now, with nearly a dozen books between them, not to mention a multitude of funny family stories, the couple will talk about their personal and professional relationship. How do literary mates relate when writer’s block, deadlines, and book signings prevail? No doubt there will be other writer-couples in the audience who want to know. Fitzgerald Theater, 10 E.
