Madeleine Dunnigan presents Jean, with Jonathan Safran Foer

P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome Madeleine Dunnigan to celebrate and discuss her new book, Jean; a meditative narrative of loss and escape distilled into the heartrending story of an intense and dangerous adolescent love.

Madeleine will be joined in conversation by Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Along with a discussion and audience Q&A, Madeleine will also sign copies of her book.
