Like Love was longlisted for the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay. Booklist calls the book, “Haunting....Every piece reads like a conversation between close friends, sharing their greatest moments of vulnerability and their brightest memories of softness.... Morano’s work is proof that a life spent in love is monumental, worth entire books, worth everything.”

Michele Morano is the author of the travel memoir Grammar Lessons: Translating a Life in Spain. Her essays and short fiction have appeared in many journals and anthologies, including Best American Essays, Fourth Genre, Ninth Letter, and Waveform: Twenty-First-Century Essays by Women. She lives in Chicago, where she chairs the English Department at DePaul University.

She will be joined in conversation by John T. Price, the award-winning author of three memoirs, including Man Killed by Pheasant and Other Kinships and Daddy Long Legs: The Natural Education of a Father, and is the editor of the Tallgrass Prairie Reader. He is the Regents/Foundation Distinguished Professor at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, where he directs the English Department’s Creative Nonfiction Writing Program.
