Silas House in Conversation with Halle Hill

Join us for an afternoon with Silas House, who will be in conversation with Hub City Press author Halle Hill. Silas and Halle will discuss Silas's new novel, "The Tulip Poplars," 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, "The Tulip Poplars" takes readers from NYC to Southern cities to Appalachia and will leave everyone with a bigger heart.
After their discussion of Silas's new novel "The Tulip Poplars" and an audience Q&A, Silas will sign copies of his books.

Tales of a Time Traveler

Time travel surrounds you – from the biological clock in your brain and the changing shadows on a sundial, to the history of life on Earth. Then the story expands to the lives of stars, the time scale of the Big Bang, and the distortion of time by gravity. Produced by Evans & Sutherland Digital Theater in association with Houston Museum of Natural Science. Narrated by David Tennant.

Tales of a Time Traveler

In Tales of a Time Traveler, you will discover that time is not so easily defined. Time is illusive, impossible to hold. It can't be owned. It can't be stopped. Time travel surrounds you – from the biological clock in your brain and the changing shadows on a sundial, to the history of life on Earth. Then the story expands to the lives of stars, the time scale of the Big Bang, and the distortion of time by gravity. Produced by Evans & Sutherland Digital Theater in association with Houston Museum of Natural Science. Narrated by David Tennant.

Tales of a Time Traveler
Mixed Ages
In Tales of a Time Traveler, you will discover that time is not so easily defined. Time is illusive, impossible to hold. It can't be owned. It can't be stopped. Time travel surrounds you – from the biological clock in your brain and the changing shadows on a sundial, to the history of life on Earth. Then the story expands to the lives of stars, the time scale of the Big Bang, and the distortion of time by gravity. Produced by Evans & Sutherland Digital Theater in association with Houston Museum of Natural Science. Narrated by David Tennant.
