Event Details
Instead of watching from your computer, join like-minded people as we come together for a live talk watch party of the amazing New York Times bestselling author Shelby Van Pelt. She discusses her beloved novel Remarkably Bright Creatures and takes us on a deep-dive exploration of friendship, reckoning, hope, and so much more! Ask questions virtually, then stay and chat about the book together.
Remarkably Bright Creatures is a luminous debut novel about a widow’s unlikely friendship with a giant Pacific octopus reluctantly residing at the local aquarium—and the truths she finally uncovers about her son’s disappearance 30 years ago. Charming, compulsively readable, and full of wit, Shelby Van Pelt’s debut novel is a beautiful exploration of friendship, reckoning, and hope–a reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible.
About the Author: Shelby Van Pelt’s debut novel, Remarkably Bright Creatures, was published by Ecco/HarperCollins (US) and Bloomsbury (UK) in Spring 2022 and was an Instant New York Times bestseller and has sold a million and a half copies. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, she’s now missing the mountains in the Chicago area with her husband and two children.
