Author talk with Mona Chalabi

Pulitzer Prize-winning Iraqi British journalist and illustrator Mona Chalabi comes to Haymarket House to discuss Ten Lives: How What We Have Shapes Who We Are. Her new book follows ten Americans with different incomes over five years, exploring how money shapes their relationships, decisions and fears about the future.

Through personal stories and illustrated data, Chalabi examines debt, inheritance, work and medical bills—including her own family’s financial uncertainty after her mother became ill.

She’ll speak with Myriam Ben Salah, the Tunisian French curator who leads Chicago’s Renaissance Society.
