What My Father and I Don't Talk About: A Conversation with Michele Filgate and Tim Horvath, Tuesday June 3

May 23, 2025

What My Father and I Don't Talk About is a follow-up to the wildly successful What My Mother and I Don’t Talk About. This collection of essays from sixteen notable writers breaks the silence on the complex—and sometimes contentious—relationships we have with our fathers. Editor Michele Filgate will be in conversation with author Tim Horvath to discuss the anthology.

What My Mother and I Don’t Talk About has become a rare gem in the literary world. Both a viral sensation online and chosen by Oprah Daily as one of the best nonfiction books of the past two decades, it is an essential collection that dives into the personal and poignant topic we often struggle to discuss with those who are meant to know and love us best.
