Meet David Duchovny: The Reservoir

6:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Harold Washington Library Center

Description

Award-winning actor, writer, director, singer-songwriter and bestselling author David Duchovny appears in person at Harold Washington Library Center to discuss his new novella, The Reservoir. David will be in conversation with journalist Marley Kayden.

David Duchovny is an award-winning actor, writer, director, New York Times best-selling author, and singer- songwriter. With an acting career spanning more than three decades, Duchovny is a two-time Golden Globe winner and four-time Emmy nominee. He is a prolific author whose fourth novel, Truly Like Lightning, was published in February 2021. His previous novels include the New York Times best seller Holy CowBucky F*cking Dent, and Miss Subways. As a musician, Duchovny has released two studio albums, Hell or Highwater and Every Third Thought.

His new book, The Reservoir, follows an unexceptional man in an exceptional time. We see our present-day pandemic world and New York City through the eyes of a former Wall Street veteran, Ridley, as he, in his enforced quarantined solitude, looks back upon his life. He examines his wins, his failures, the gnawing questions—his career, his divorce, his estranged daughter—and wonders what it all means and who he really is.

David will be interviewed by Marley Kayden. Marley Kayden is an Emmy Award-winning business correspondent for NewsNation’s “Morning in America.” Marley was the co-host of “Chicago’s Best” on WGN-TV until its 10-year-run concluded near the end of 2021, and prior to joining the WGN team, she spent several years at NBC Chicago, anchoring traffic on the weekends, reporting, and hosting the station’s special events programming. She holds a master’s in journalism from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism and is also an adjunct faculty member for the journalism program at DePaul University. Prior to becoming a journalist, she spent much of her life on stage, working as a professional musical theatre actor.
