Le Conversazioni: Portraits of America with Elizabeth Strout

Throughout her prolific career, #1 New York Times-bestselling author Elizabeth Strout—described by the Boston Globe as one of “our most grace-filled, and graceful, writers”—has showcased a diverse cast of characters and settings that emulate the rich tapestry of America. Providing a window into the personal struggles, tensions, and triumphs that shape how families and communities rally and evolve, her body of work underscores the anxieties that impact the greater national mood. In an intimate conversation, Strout illuminates the themes prevalent in her writing—including shared experience and interconnectivity, generational conflict, small-town versus urban attitudes, and perseverance through adversity—and how they reflect America’s contemporary sociopolitical landscape.

Elizabeth Strout is the author of numerous critically acclaimed books, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning Olive Kitteridge, which was adapted into an HBO miniseries. Her most recent book is Anything is Possible. Antonio Monda (moderator) is Artistic Director of Le Conversazioni literary festival and Artistic Director of the Rome Film Festival.
