Boy from the North Country: A Novel
Monday, July 20, 6:30 PM PT

Join us for a conversation on Boy from the North Country, Sam Sussman’s debut novel, a work of autofiction inspired by his own life. The story centers on Evan, a young man who returns home to care for his dying mother and begins to uncover hidden pieces of her past, including a possible romantic relationship with Bob Dylan, whom strangers say he resembles.

The novel explores love, loss, memory, art, and identity as Evan grapples with his mother’s secrets and his own inheritance.
