Select presentations will be broadcast live to the large jumbotron on the Pavilion lawn. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis—no ticketing or registration is required.

From 9/11 (Let the Great World Spin) to war and peace both in Ireland (TransAtlantic) and Israel/Palestine (Apeirogon), COLUM McCANN (@colummccann.author) has sought ways to channel the biggest stories of our age into resonant, elliptical, poetic works of fiction. His latest novel tells the story of a journalist sent to report on the complex work of repairing underwater cables that carry the world’s information. Dazzling on every level, human and technological, it is McCann at his best, finding beauty and mystery on the front lines of danger. Few novelists pay such close attention to the“stories of our times” as McCann, who will be in conversation with JEFFREY BROWN of the PBS NewsHour.
This talk will be available for free lawn seating! The Special Series Pavilion Pass to view this talk inside the Sun Valley Pavilion has sold out, but it may be viewable via free livestreaming and/or at the Live Watch Party (pending author permissions).
