• Featuring Eric Puchner, Associate Professor in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences Writing Seminars program, and Gabriella Fee, current Moser Writer-in-Residence

Join us for a virtual discussion and celebration of Eric Puchner’s acclaimed new novel, Dream State, a New York Times Bestseller and 2025 Oprah’s Book Club Pick. A multi-generational tale of tangled love, enduring friendship, and fundamental impermanence.

Eric Puchner, Associate Professor in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences Writing Seminars program, will be joined in conversation by Gabriella Fee, current Moser Writer-in-Residence and graduate of the Johns Hopkins Writing Seminars (MFA ’22). Together, they explore the craft of the novel—from the precision of Puchner’s sentences to his handling of time, perspective, and emotion. The program includes brief readings, conversation, and audience Q&A.

This special Hopkins at Home program is presented in partnership with the Moser Family Writing Series, launching in Fall 2025. The Moser Gift is a generous and inspiring investment in creative expression and lifelong learning at Johns Hopkins, made possible by Elizabeth Moser, A&S ’66 and includes a lineup of writing courses, field excursions, and virtual lectures offered alongside all our outstanding Odyssey creative writing courses.
