Some bright literary luminaries will light the UCSB Arts & Lectures stage for in-depth personal conversations with renowned writer and interviewer Pico Iyer for the recently announced 2022-2023 “Speaking with Pico” series.
"It's thrilling to have two Pulitzer Prize winners and one Golden Globe nominee on the roster for our coming Speaking with Pico series,” said Iyer. “We've never had the chance to host an actress-cum-philanthropist before, and I'm sure that Isabella Rossellini will wonderfully complement the transformative, almost prophetic fiction of Jennifer Egan and the inspiring human stories of kindness and hope amid great suffering offered by Tracy Kidder. Through their thoughtfulness and passion, I feel all three are looking to guide us toward a brighter and more humanly connected future."
