Harvard Book Store and GrubStreet welcome JOHN FREEMAN, editor of Freeman’s, for a discussion of the literary biannual’s latest volume, Family: The Best New Writing on Family. John will be joined in conversation by acclaimed author CLAIRE MESSUD.

With outstanding work from literary heavyweights and up-and-coming writers alike, Freeman’s: Family collects the most amusing, heartbreaking, and probing stories about family life today.

“Freeman draws from a global cache of talent . . . This collection takes on the family from within and without, in ways one might expect and others totally unanticipated, for an expansive reading experience.” —Kirkus Reviews
