One Book, One Chicago teams up with the Chicago Humanities Festival to present a rare opportunity for grown ups to celebrate this monstrous and magical literary form—the modern fairy tale. Join Lydia Millet (How the Dead Dream) and Kate Bernheimer (Horse, Flower, Bird and editor of My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me: Forty New Fairy Tales) for readings and conversation about these dark and delightful stories.

This is a free, ticketed event; for tickets, call 312-494-9509 or visit chicagohumanities.org.
