Events › Adult Book Discussion: Olga Dies Dreaming

Join North Austin Branch for a discussion of the 2025 One Book, One Chicago selection Olga Dies Dreaming by Xochitl Gonzalez.

"A blazing talent debuts with the tale of a status-driven wedding planner grappling with her social ambitions, absent mother, and Puerto Rican roots, all in the wake of Hurricane María. ... Set against the backdrop of New York City in the months surrounding the most devastating hurricane in Puerto Rico's history, Xochitl Gonzalez's Olga Dies Dreaming is a story that examines political corruption, familial strife and the very notion of the American dream-all while asking what it really means to weather a storm."
