Diaz's Trust took the 2023 Pulitzer for fiction, and Ply is the follow-up. Greta Johnsen, who hosts WBEZ's Nerdette, is the interviewer, so this is a real conversation rather than a reading with a microphone. The Studebaker is a restored 1898 theatre inside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue, and the ticket carries a signed first copy of the book.
