- **Event Name**: Writing and Re-Writing Home: Evanston in Memoir
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 12 Apr, 2026 at 04:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: How do we remember our own past? How do we use language to explore our own relationship to places that are important to us? 

Join Evanston writers Joanne Jacobson and Ann Hudson for a discussion of how Jacobson’s trilogy of memoirs recall Evanston landmarks like the B&amp;G diner, the Evanshire Pharmacy, and Lee Street Beach: their cheeseburgers and cherry Cokes, perfume samplers and roasted nuts, their textures of sand and sun. And we’ll explore how remembering and writing about Evanston—or any home—evolves and changes over one writer’s lifetime: how “memory” itself is written and re-written.

In person event at the Dawes House, 225 Greenwood.
