St. Louis JBF Fiction Panel with Emily Matchar & Jenna Blum

Sometimes the best way to understand ourselves is through someone else's story. Join acclaimed novelists Emily Matchar and Jenna Blum for an engaging conversation about the art of fiction, unforgettable characters, and the stories that stay with us long after we've turned the final page.

Matchar's The Lost Girl of Craven County brings Depression-era North Carolina vividly to life through a gripping mystery rooted in Jewish history, while Blum's Murder Your Darlings showcases the emotional depth and masterful storytelling that have made her an international bestselling author. Whether you're an avid reader or simply love a great story, you'll leave inspired, entertained, and eager for your next favorite read.

This event is made possible by the Jewish Book Council.
