The event is free and open to the public.OPEN WIDEAn increasingly obsessive radio host tests the boundaries of her boyfriend's love in this unforgettable dark comedy that is by turns romantic, horrific, and profoundOlive is desperate to get close to Theo--really, really close. She's always struggled to connect with people. And now she's in her thirties, single, and so flustered by relationships that she secretly records her conversations, hoping to decipher social cues and find a way to be less alone.Then Theo turns up for a shift at the same food pantry where she volunteers. He's a surgeon fascinated by human organs, a former soccer player, and possibly as weird as Olive.For the first time, someone seems to crave and understand her. Every recording of Theo is a balm, which just makes Olive more afraid of losing him. The only solution seems to be to bind him to her forever. Luckily, the gap between Theo's front teeth is just wide enough for something--or someone--to slip inside.Arresting and immersive, Open Wide explores the complexities of intimacy, love and consent, as universal human impulses bleed into the surreal.---Jessica Gross is the author of Hysteria (2020), which Publishers Weekly declared "every bit a page-turner as it is a descent into sexual madness." Hysteria has been optioned for TV development, and Open Wide for film development. Gross's nonfiction has appeared in the New York Times Magazine, Lilith, and the Los Angeles Review of Books, among other publications. She has taught writing at The New School and Texas Tech University and currently lives in West Texas. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-orleans/jessica-gross-at-the-garden-district-book-shop/100001530758793759 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, comedy, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 30.39, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New Orleans - **state**: LA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Garden District Book Shop - **lat**: 29.9302073 - **long**: -90.0849707 - **full address**: The Garden District Book Shop, 2727 Prytania Street, New Orleans, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Jessica Gross at the Garden District Book Shop - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/27bb2fd6424c1772b92e25f1edbe27aa3040bf0ddddd9be51bf982ad299a1ca3-rimg-w980-h522-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1753683210 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Jessica Gross at the Garden District Book Shop being held? - **A:** Jessica Gross at the Garden District Book Shop takes place on Fri, 10 Oct, 2025 at 06:00 pm to Fri, 10 Oct, 2025 at 08:00 pm at The Garden District Book Shop, 2727 Prytania Street, New Orleans, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Jessica Gross at the Garden District Book Shop? - **A:** Tickets for Jessica Gross at the Garden District Book Shop are priced at USD 30 per person.
