SUMMARY:“Level Up: Writers & Gamers” Exhibit Tour
DESCRIPTION:Experience a curator-led tour of Level Up: Writers & Gamers! This special, spoiler-free tour follows Sam and Sadie’s journey in Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow. Learn more about the real-life games and game writers that inspired the book.\nThis program is part of Chicago Public Library’s 2024 One Book, One Chicago initiative and is free to attend. We will also offer this special tour again on September 30, 2024. You can register for that date here.\nMore about Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow:\nOn a bitter-cold day, in the December of his junior year at Harvard, Sam Masur exits a subway car and sees, amid the hordes of people waiting on the platform, Sadie Green. He calls her name. For a moment, she pretends she hasn’t heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: a legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom.\nThese friends, intimates since childhood, borrow money, beg favors, and, before even graduating college, they have created their first blockbuster, Ichigo. Overnight, the world is theirs. Not even twenty-five years old, Sam and Sadie are brilliant, successful, and rich, but these qualities won’t protect them from their own creative ambitions or the betrayals of their hearts.\nSpanning thirty years, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Venice Beach, California, and lands in between and far beyond, Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.\nLevel Up: Writers & Gamers, where the magic of game writing awaits!\nEmbark on a thrilling adventure into the world of game writing and explore the role of narrative and storytelling in gaming, from the 1970s to today. Timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of fantasy tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, Level Up enriches your understanding of writing through fun and interactive formats, inspires young people to try a new form of writing, and encourages exploration of the worlds created through games.\nTake a deep dive into the world of game writing, and learn about topics such as Live Action Role Playing, Decision Trees/Choice Making, Character Creation, Notable Events in Gaming History, Game-Adjacent Writing, and more. Through a timeline and a series of interactive features, including a mock basement game room where you can play games, you’ll have an active role in the story of Level Up.\nExplore Level Up: Writers & Gamers today!\n\n
