What the evening is about
The flyer bills Chalabi as a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, and the book looks at how what people have, from money to time to family, shapes who they become. Rep Club describes the night as a discussion between the author and Thomas, so expect a conversation rather than a lecture. The shop frames it as an author event under its Art & Journalism tag.
A book about ten individual lives suits a live conversation, since the questions can follow the stories the book tells. The shop says the night is open to anyone who wants to join the discussion.
About the venue
Rep Club calls itself a concept bookshop and creative space curated by Blackness. It was founded by Jazzi McGilbert, who grew up in South Central Los Angeles, and has been open since 2019. The shop is Black, queer and woman-owned, and it is known for a warm staff and a catalog of Black and BIPOC titles. It has worked with groups including Well Read Black Girl, Noname's Book Club and the California African American Museum.
Practical info
Tickets are sold through Eventbrite, and the page lists a range from free to $33.84. The listing does not say what each tier includes, so check the ticket page before you pick one. The listing gives no door time, age limit or parking details, so confirm anything like that with the shop before you head over. The shop is in the Los Angeles area, so leave time to find your way on a weeknight.
If you are putting together a week of things happening in Los Angeles, this pairs well with other readings and talks. More like it are collected under arts and culture.
Seven o'clock is the start time on both the flyer and the ticket listing. Plan to arrive a little early, since a small bookshop can fill up.
