When Words Change Us
Ten Minutes. Five Voices. Infinite Possibilities.
Join us as we welcome five of our guest authors — 2025 Booker Prize winner David Szalay, philosopher and bestselling author AC Grayling, New York Times bestselling author and social philosopher Sarah Wilson, award-winning journalist, podcaster, and human rights advocate Antoinette Lattouf, and trailblazing environmentalist Bob Brown, each sharing ten-minute readings from their own work or pieces by writers that have touched them, resonated, and lingered deep in their cells well beyond the end of the page.
