Meet the Author: Paula McLain Lecture
7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
At the Winnetka Community House. Most of us know or think we know who Ernest Hemingway was -- a brilliant writer full of macho swagger, driven to take on huge feats of bravery and a pitcher or two of martinis -- before lunch. But beneath this man or myth, or some combination of the two, is another Hemingway, one we’ve never seen before. The Paris Wife’s Paula McLain offers a glimpse into her research and the compelling characters that inspired her novel. Tickets will go on sale May 1.
Signing at Sidewalk Sale
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
At the Winnetka Sidewalk Sale. Paula McLain brings Hadley Richardson Hemingway out from the formidable shadow cast by her famous husband. Though doomed, the Hemingway marriage had its giddy high points, including a whirlwind courtship and a few fast and furious years of the expatriate lifestyle in 1920s Paris. Meet Paula McLain at the Winnetka-Northfield Public Library District’s Sidewalk Sale booth.
