Program Description

Event Details

Join us for an online chat with bestselling author Fredrik Backman as we discuss his outstanding body of work, including his breathtaking new novel, The Winners, the third installment of the Beartown series. 

In the beautifully written Beartown—which inspired the HBO series of the same name—a small town obsessed with the local junior hockey team is rocked by a shocking act of violence.  The series continues and tensions rise when it’s rumored that the Beartown hockey team will be disbanded in Us Against You

Finally, the series comes to an evocative conclusion with The Winners. We return to the close-knit, resilient community of Beartown for a story about first loves, second chances, and last goodbyes.
