# Event Details - **Event Name**: Lindy West - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 13 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Wed, 13 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: Lindy West joins us with her new memoir, "Adult Braces: Driving Myself Sane," in which she unpacks her last few tumultuous years.About this EventLindy West has become an inspiration to many through her book Shrill and its TV adaptation of the same name. We are delighted to welcome her to Kepler’s to discuss her new memoir, Adult Braces: Driving Myself Sane, in which she unpacks her last few tumultuous years, hits the road, rediscovers herself, and reinvents her marriage in the process.About the BookTo this day Lindy West is stopped on the street and hailed as a beacon of empowerment by women who felt badly for not conforming to a narrow set of societal norms—thin, straight, compliant. But behind the scenes, Lindy never felt like she was the self-actualized woman fans made her out to be. When she found herself in the throes of a deep depression, with her marriage and sense of self-worth hanging in the balance, she knew she needed to make a change.In Adult Braces, Lindy shares the story of her rock bottom, and of the journey she took to claw her way out of it. With her trademark candor and sense of humor, she examines her post-Shrill emotional implosion, her shifting feelings about traditional marriage, and her search for her long-lost self. She also tracks the highs and lows of a transformative road trip across America, from eye-opening natural wonders and kitschy roadside attractions to lackluster tourist traps and campground epiphanies.The result is an engaging and laugh-out-loud narrative of becoming as Lindy transforms from a passenger into the active navigator of her own life.COVID SAFETY PROTOCOLS: We strongly encourage attendees to wear masks at our events, although they will NOT be required.
