Susan Orlean is a writer of true stories and bestselling books whose bylines have filled the pages of The New Yorker, Vogue, Rolling Stone, Esquire, and Outside. Her words leap from the page into your heart. And sometimes to the big screen. She penned The Library Book, The Orchid Thief, and Adaptation. Her unique humor colors her prose and paints a literary mural for audiences that can't visit art galleries right now.
