An Evening with John Green

Join Library Shop SD and our friends at Meet Cute in welcoming #1 internationally bestselling author JOHN GREEN and special guest HANK GREEN for a conversation around John’s adult fiction debut, Hollywood, Ending. The pair will discuss the book, answer audience questions, and more. All tickets include an autographed copy of Hollywood, Ending.

About Hollywood, Ending

#1 bestselling author John Green makes his much-anticipated return to fiction with a behind- the-scenes Hollywood love story that brilliantly confronts the private cost of a public life.

For rising young actors Kai Laramie and Juniper Castillo, being cast in the buzzy biopic Andy Warhol Never Gets Old is the opportunity they’ve both been waiting for. They’re on the verge of breaking out, and maybe even falling in love. Soon, the movie is blowing up, and so are their lives — in exciting, but also terrifying, ways.

John Green artfully blends a behind-the-scenes Hollywood love story with an unflinching examination of the insatiable attention economy. Told through dual points of view, the novel follows Kai and Juniper from the first days on location to the movie’s premiere, brilliantly juxtaposing their story with the on-screen study of Warhol’s life at the dawn of celebrity culture.

Hollywood, Ending is a deeply observed novel about the tension between a public and a private life, and finding your safe someone to hold onto. Tender, heartbreaking, and shrewdly funny, this is a story as only John Green can tell it.
