Canzani Auditorium

Join bestselling American novelist and nonfiction author Anne Lamott as she shares her 20th book, Somehow: Thoughts on Love, a joyful celebration of love that she draws from her own life. Lamott will be in conversation with Kassie Rose, book critic for WOSU 89.7 FM, an NPR member station.

Admission includes a copy of the novel, which Lamott will sign at the event. Columbus College of Art & Design and WOSU Public Media are Gramercy’s Community Partners for this exclusive program.

In Somehow: Thoughts on Love, Lamott explores the transformative power that love has in our lives: how it surprises us, forces us to confront uncomfortable truths, reminds us of our humanity, and guides us forward. “Love just won't be pinned down,” she says. “It is in our very atmosphere” and lies at the heart of who we are. We are, Lamott says, creatures of love.

Somehow is Anne Lamott’s 20th book, and in it she draws from her own life and experience to delineate the intimate and elemental ways that love buttresses us in the face of despair as it galvanizes us to believe that tomorrow will be better than today. Full of the compassion and humanity that have made Lamott beloved by millions of readers, Somehow is classic Anne Lamott: funny, warm, and wise.
