Fiction and Nonfiction Walk Into a Bar

Part craft talk, part happy hour, Fiction and Nonfiction Walk Into a Bar brings the best of literary conversation out on the town.

Join genre-crossing literary stars Alexander Chee (bestselling author of How to Write an Autobiographical Novel) and Hernán Díaz (Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Trust) for a lively conversation as they tackle the question: Where does truth end and fiction begin? Explore the space between what’s true and what’s invented on the page with two writers who’ve made careers of blurring the line and are ready to share how and why it works.

Register by April 13th to submit your questions for the moderated Q&A.

The party will continue at the Rockwell after the conversation, with drinks, fun, and book sales provided by our partners at Porter Square Books. This event is 21+ and tickets include a free drink.

LATE SEATING POLICY:
Late seating is not guaranteed for comedy or theater.
Late seating will end after the opener, if there is one, and when the headliner begins.

WHY LIMITED LATE SEATING: Due to the architecture of our space, the entrance is next to the stage and it is disruptive to the performer to enter late. We will seat you if there is an opener but once the headliner starts, you may be allowed to sit in the lobby but will not be allowed to enter. Please know this is for the best experience for the artist. No refunds for late entry.

START TIME: Performances will begin no later than 15 minutes after stated show time.

REFUNDS DETERMINED BY GRUBSTREET.

WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBILITY: Please enter through the glass foyer to the right of our entrance, press B and you will arrive in the Basement for Saloon and The Rockwell. Please call the host at (617) 628-4444 for assistance.
