“The story of my life is the story of my stories.” — Susan Orlean

Beloved New Yorker writer and bestselling author of The Orchid Thief and The Library Book, Susan Orlean returns to the ALOUD stage with her new memoir Joyride. One of the greatest practitioners of narrative nonfiction of our time, Orlean candidly shares her life and her calling—writing. Her deeply personal book walks us through her best works from pitch to publication and explores her deep and endless curiosity for the most ordinary and extraordinary people and places.
