What happens when a story refuses to leave you — when the characters feel more real than people you know and the words rearrange something inside you? That's the quiet, seismic magic of literary fiction. 

Join acclaimed authors Mary H. K. Choi (Pool House) and Geoff Rickly (Someone Who Isn’t Me) alongside Josh Lora (@tellthebees) and Kimberly Bizu, creator of Rich Little Brokegirls, in an intimate discussion moderated by Lit Club NYC founder Kelly Chervin. From the deeply personal to the culturally urgent, literary fiction authors write the books that become the conversations we can't stop having. This panel celebrates that power — exploring how these storytellers craft narratives that are at once intimate and expansive, and why their work is resonating with a new generation of listeners who are rediscovering the pleasures of the literary novel in audio form.

Guests will receive a drink and snack, along with a gift from Audible.
