92NY & Topic Present: Rough Draft Live with Reza Aslan - Bess Kalb

Jul 28, 2020


There’s only one way to really get to know a writer: over drinks. Reza Aslan brings his timely and intimate streaming talk show Rough Draft to life, sipping Old Fashioneds with some of today’s most important writers, diving into their process, inspiration, and backgrounds.

In Bess Kalb’s debut memoir Nobody Will Tell You This But Me, her kindred spirit and grandmother Bobby Bell reminds Bess of the experiences they shared, and she delivers—in phone calls, texts, and unforgettable heart-to-hearts brought vividly to the page—her signature wisdom. Bess joins Reza Aslan to talk about her career as a TV & screenwriter and bestselling author.

This event is part of the Rough Draft Live with Reza Aslan series.
