Kepler's Books

About this event

We are delighted that Shelby Van Pelt, author of the New York Times bestseller and award winning Remarkably Bright Creatures, will be joining us on the Kepler's stage. Described as "an ultimately feel-good but deceptively sensitive debut," Remarkably Bright Creatures is a charming, witty and compulsively readable exploration of friendship, reckoning, and hope that traces a widow's unlikely connection with a giant Pacific octopus. Shelby Van Pelt will be in conversation with Karen Joy Fowler.
