- Event lasts 1 hour
Rumaan Alam, bestselling author of Leave the World Behind, joins us to discuss his new novel, Entitlement, a riveting tale for our gilded age about the unsettling and seductive distortions of money. When Brooke finds a job assisting an octogenarian billionaire in his quest to give away a vast fortune, proximity to wealth turns out to be nothing less than transformative. What is money, really, but a kind of belief?
In conversation with Ashley Audrain.
Q&A and book signing to follow. Books available for purchase.

Note: This is an in-person event at The Bram and Bluma Appel Salon, the premiere event space for Toronto Public Library's cultural and heritage programming, located on the second floor of the Toronto Reference Library (789 Yonge Street).
Arrive early, meet people. The talk starts at 7 pm, but doors open at 6 pm. Come early so you can chat with your fellow literature lovers, and make new friends. As with all Appel Salon events, we'll have a bar with a selection of beer and wine, as well as snacks, available to purchase (only debit and credit cards accepted).
Reminder! We oversell these events to make sure that the most people have an opportunity to attend. Tickets are only guaranteed until 10 minutes before the show starts, at which point we will start opening up available spots to the rush line.
