An Evening with Hank Phillippi Ryan and Callie Crossley: The Story Behind the Story
|
|
|
TUESDAY, November 27 at 7 PM
|
Join Hank Phillippi Ryan and Callie Crossley as they explore questions inspired by Ryan’s newest psychological thriller, Trust Me. How do we know what to believe? How do journalists uncover the truth? And how do reporters and writers translate investigation into narrative? Drawing from their work in journalism and fiction, they will discuss the idea of hunting for the real story, the work of reporters to discover and convey the truth, and the true crime stories that inspired Trust Me.
|
|
Presented by the Board of Library Trustees. This event is in partnership with the Brookline Booksmith.
