His longtime friend Maeve also pines for a man she can’t have, lest she endanger his already tenuous life in a town and world shaped by racial lines. How do you live a life that feels untrue, and at what point do you risk everything?The Tulip Poplars is a gorgeous and moving novel spanning most of the 20th century, centering on four people trying to find happiness in a world that demands conventional choices. House tells a deeply intimate story of faith and doubt, race and class, sexual desire and the longing to be good when you’ve been taught that you are evil for loving who you love. Based on the story of an ancestor, House’s new novel takes us from NYC to Southern cities to Appalachia and will leave you with a bigger heart.Silas House was a finalist for a 2024 Grammy Award, winner of the 2022 Duggins Prize, and is a two-time winner of the Southern Book Prize. His writing has appeared in The Washington Post, The Atlantic, Time, the New York Times, the Advocate, Time, Garden & Gun, and other publications. He teaches at Berea College and at the Naslund-Mann Graduate School of Creative Writing. Nicholas A. Brown-Cáceres is acting chief of the Library of Congress’s Music Division. He previously served in senior leadership roles at the Prince George’s County Memorial Library System and Washington Performing Arts and he is a former Army bandsman. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/washington/hybrid-event-the-tulip-poplars-silas-house/100001996126704708 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, workshops, entertainment, performances, sports, music, theatre, virtual, webinar, kentucky-derby - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: East City Bookshop - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 42.23, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Washington - **state**: DC - **country**: United States - **location**: East City Bookshop - **lat**: 38.88456060000001 - **long**: -76.9968836 - **full address**: East City Bookshop, 645 Pennsylvania Avenue Southeast, Washington, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Hybrid Event: The Tulip Poplars, Silas House - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/2de79495260e9205fead1b3d5f11ff0ad17777983283438c721afde9f5c57222-rimg-w1200-h600-dce86838-gmir.jpg?v=1786713615 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Hybrid Event: The Tulip Poplars, Silas House being held? - **A:** Hybrid Event: The Tulip Poplars, Silas House takes place on Wed, 28 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Wed, 28 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm at East City Bookshop, 645 Pennsylvania Avenue Southeast, Washington, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Hybrid Event: The Tulip Poplars, Silas House? - **A:** Hybrid Event: The Tulip Poplars, Silas House is organized by East City Bookshop. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at East City Bookshop's events? - **A:** Attendees have given East City Bookshop a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
