About the Event

The Memory Palace: True Short Stories of the Past is a collection of crystalline historical tales that read like luminous short fiction and, like Nate DiMeo’s acclaimed podcast of the same name, conjure lost moments and forgotten figures who are calling out across time to be remembered. This will be an enriching conversation.
