Join Read & Run Chicago, Gerber/Hart Library & Archives, and Betsy Tomszak of Books with Betsy for a 3-mile running route inspired by Rebecca Makkai’s award-winning novel, The Great Believers. Lace up your running shoes (or hop on that bike) and get ready to explore the streets of Lakeview that set the backdrop for Fiona and Yale’s love, loss, and tragedy with guide Quinn Sluzenski. After the run, we’ll also hear directly from the LGBTQ elders and activists that would have been these characters’ contemporaries. This unique experience combines movement and literature, as we dive into the devastating and gripping world ofThe Great Believers and the real-life Chicago history behind it.
