Youre invited to an awe-inspiring chat with New York Times bestselling author Charles Soule as he talks about his newest book, The Endless Vessel, which explores the way were all connectedand what can happen when we lose our capacity for joy.
The Endless Vessel transports us to a few years from now, in a world similar to ours, where there exists a sort of depression plague that people refer to simply as The Grey. No one can predict whom it will afflict or how, but once infected, theres no coming back. A young Hong Kong-based scientist, Lily Barnes, is trying to maintain her inner light in an increasingly dark world. The human race is dwindling, and people fighting to push forward are increasingly rare. One day, Lily comes across something that seems to be addressing her directly, calling to her, asking her to follow a path to whatever lies at its end. Is this the Endless Vessel that leads to happiness? She leaves her life behind and sets out through time and space to find out. This program is presented in partnership with Marathon Center for the Performing Arts.
