WE’RE LIVE: Join the conversation here.

Perusing a list of Ada Calhoun’s professional accomplishments, it feels hard to fathom that just one person has done so much. And not just so many things, but so many things that are deeply interesting, ahead of their time and really span the gamut. She’s written five books that are on all the lists — from New York Times bestsellers, to best books of the year, to most anticipated — and you can find them in every corner of a bookshop, too, from fiction to nonfiction to women’s issues. She’s also a ghostwriter, one of the cofounders of the non­fic­tion wom­en’s bar night Sob Sis­ters, a former Sanskritist (!!!) and, honestly, a pioneer of cool.

We’re so lucky to have Ada join us for an Open Book session this Thursday, August 14, at 3 p.m. ET, to talk about her recent novel, Crush, her first, where she finds inspiration for her books, her career as a ghostwriter, her prolificity and so much more.
