Signature Author Event: Matthew Quick

Matthew Quick, the New York Times bestselling author of nine novels, including We Are the Light, The Silver Linings Playbook, The Reason You’re Alive, and The Good Luck of Right Now, will speak about his work followed by a Q&A session. A limited number of signed books will be given away to attendees first come, first serve. Additional unsigned copies will be available for sale from Monarch Books & Gifts.

Matthew writes stories about the struggles of mental health, found family, and the perseverance to overcome life’s challenges. The Silver Linings Playbook was adapted into an Oscar-nominated film starring Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. Netflix adapted his young adult novel Sorta Like a Rock Star into the film All Together Now.  

This event was made possible with grant funds from the Olathe Public Library Foundation and the support of Monarch Books & Gifts.
