About this Event
A Literary Journey from the Page to the Screen
Before she was a Jazz Age icon or a tragic muse, she was a woman striving for a voice of her own. Join us for an exclusive evening with Therese Anne Fowler, the New York Times bestselling author of Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald.
Since its publication, Z has redefined how the world perceives the "original flapper," moving beyond the myths to reveal the complex, ambitious woman underneath. The novel’s hauntingly beautiful prose was the inspiration for the Amazon Studios original series Z: The Beginning of Everything, starring Christina Ricci.
