HAYVN LIVE: An Evening with James Frey, Bestselling Author
Tuesday, May 5 | 6:00–7:30pm
VIP Meet & Greet: 5:30–6:00pm
Join us for an intimate, thought-provoking evening with bestselling author James Frey, one of the most provocative and widely discussed literary voices of our time.
In conversation with moderator Nancy Sheed, James will share the real story behind the headlines—his creative journey, the highs and lows of his career, and what it means to continually reinvent yourself.
Often described as a “literary outlaw,” James has written multiple global bestsellers—including A Million Little Pieces, Bright Shiny Morning, and The Final Testament of the Holy Bible—with more than 35 million copies sold worldwide and translations in 48 languages. His work has sparked conversation, controversy, and undeniable cultural impact.
Expect an honest, engaging dialogue that goes beyond the surface—touching on ambition, resilience, creativity, and the complexities of building a life (and career) on your own terms.
Guests will have the opportunity to purchase and have signed a copy of his latest paperback, Next to Heaven.
