Claire Dederer and Ryan Boudinot

Entering its sixth season, the Hugo House literary series prompts esteemed writers to compose and present brand-new work along a theme. This month’s theme is “Ya Gotta Believe!” for which featured writers will share stories of faith and doubt. Hear fresh stories from Bainbridge-based scribe Claire Dederer (known for her hilarious memoir Poser: My Life in Twenty-Three Yoga Poses) and Capitol Hill–based fiction writer Ryan Boudinot (whose Blueprints of the Afterlife is a sweeping, dystopian vision of the not-too-distant future).
