An evening with author, Amy Blumenfeld: Such Good People: A Novel

Join Amy Blumenfeld—acclaimed novelist and award-winning journalist—for an intimate and thought-provoking evening exploring the moral gray spaces where loyalty, love and consequence collide. In conversation about her powerful novel, Such Good People, Blumenfeld invites audiences inside the moment that changes everything—and the years-long reckoning that follows.

Drawing on her deep experience as a journalist and her keen understanding of human complexity, Blumenfeld examines how a single, impulsive act meant to protect a friend can ripple outward for decades, reshaping identities, relationships and futures. Through April’s story—from a crowded Manhattan bar to a life carefully rebuilt and suddenly threatened—she illuminates the quiet ways guilt, gratitude and devotion intertwine, and how the past resurfaces precisely when we believe we have outrun it.

With gripping insight, she explores the blurred lines between right and wrong, the private costs of public scrutiny, and the impossible choices people are asked to make when love and self-preservation are placed in opposition. Blumenfeld will also speak about her writing process: how character drives plot, how lived experience informs fiction, and why unresolved moral questions make for the most enduring stories.

Compelling, emotionally resonant and deeply human, Such Good People is not just a novel—it’s a conversation about who we are when everything is at stake.

Come for the story. Stay for the conversation.
