The Andre Dubus III Alumni Book Club at UMass Lowell welcomes another extraordinary literary voice: Celeste Ng, the bestselling author of "Little Fires Everywhere," "Everything I Never Told You" and "Our Missing Hearts."

Following unforgettable conversations with Stephen King and Ann Patchett, we’re excited to bring you another special opportunity to hear two acclaimed authors talk about books, writing and the ideas that inspire them.

Join us for a special live virtual book club discussion featuring Celeste Ng in conversation with Andre Dubus III. In "Our Missing Hearts," Ng weaves a powerful, moving story about family, belonging and the courage it takes to stand up for what matters. 

If you joined us for our previous events, you know what makes these conversations so special: Andre and his guests have a wonderful rapport, sharing stories, insights and reflections in a way that feels less like a formal interview and more like listening to two friends talk. It’s an engaging, behind-the-scenes look at the creative process and the minds of two remarkable writers. You won’t want to miss it!

Note: This event is open to alumni, friends and the broader UMass Lowell community. Registration required here. We encourage you to pick up a copy of "Our Missing Hearts" and read it ahead of the discussion. Available at celesteng.com/buy or your local independent bookstore.
