Description

Since 2010 the CLHOF has annually inducted six Chicago literary figures. The CLHOF will welcome a new class on Sept 19 at City Lit Theatre. In this, our 11th season, and after a year-long postponement due to the health pandemic, the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame will welcome a new class on Sunday, Sept. 19 at City Lit Theater. Frank London Brown, Jeanette Howard Foster, and Carlos Cortez represent the 2019 class, along with Gene Wolfe, who, as a former Fuller Award honoree, gained automatic induction upon his death. Kathleen Rooney, Carlos Cumpián, and Valya Dudycz Lupescu will be among the speakers. The program will feature short presentations and performances on the life and work of each inductee, as well as short speeches from living descendents. The event is free and open to the public, but regisration is required. City Lit Theater, a 99-seat venue, will fill up quickly, so we recommend advance registration to guarantee your place. The Chicago Literary Hall of Fame’s mission is to honor and celebrate Chicago's rich and proud literary tradition. The Chicago Literary Hall of Fame is a federally-registered 501(c)(3)not-for-profit organization.
