The lineup includes Pulitzer Prize winners Michael Chabon, Elizabeth Strout and Colson Whitehead, along with best-selling science writer and humorist Mary Roach.

Chabon, whose nine novels include “Wonder Boys” and the 2001 Pulitzer-winning “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay” will speak first on Oct. 25. He has also published two short story collections and two collections of essays.

Roach, who will speak on Jan. 27, has written for several magazines including National Geographic and Wired, and has also published seven books including “Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void” and her most recent book, “Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War.”

Whitehead is scheduled to appear on Feb. 16. His acclaimed “The Underground Railroad” won both the 2017 Pulitzer for fiction and the 2016 National Book Award. He has also written five other novels and two works of nonfiction.
