Wordsmith and Wonder: A Virtual Author Talk with Jodi Picoult
2025-04-02 19:00 - 20:00 | PA
New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult chats with us about her new book By Any Other Name!
The novel tells the story of two playwrights from the same family separated by centuries, yet facing the same challenges:
In 1581, Emilia Bassano, is the mistress to Lord Chamberlain, having access to all the theaters in England, she is able to bring her works to the stage, but at the cost of having to pay a man to use his name.
In the present, Melina Green has just written a work based on her ancestor Emilia Bassano, but it’s still hard for a woman in theater to get the credit she deserves, will she follow in her ancestor’s footsteps just to see her work reach the stage?
By Any Other Name is a sweeping tale of ambition, courage, and desire that asks what price each woman is willing to pay to see their work live on—even if it means they will be forgotten.
