John Green in conversation at Saban Theatre with ALOUD and Skylight Books.

Tuesday, October 13, 7:00PM PST

Literary phenom John Green returns to examine the attraction and toll of celebrity culture with his first-ever novel written for adults, Hollywood, Ending! Informed by years of proximity to celebrity through film adaptations and his own online stardom, Green’s latest is a meditation on how fame can change your life in exciting but terrifying ways.

With trademark tenderness and wit, Green’s anticipated return comes nine years after Turtles All the Way Down, at a time when content competes for our attention and people everywhere vie to break into stardom.

Its timing is no mistake—and ALOUD is excited to invite you to hear more from John live on stage.

This event is now sold out.

Join Meet Cute and our friends at Library Shop SD in welcoming #1 internationally bestselling author John Green and Hank Green for a conversation around John’s adult fiction debut, Hollywood, Ending. The pair will discuss the book, answer audience questions, and more. All tickets include an autographed copy of Hollywood, Ending.
