The Best Kind of Hell: Relationships in Contemporary Fiction // Tickets Required.
Can you ever really know the people closest to you? Can they ever really know you? These stories take us behind the scenes of the woman shocked to learn that her husband doesn't think their life is as perfect as it seems; the superstitious young man wondering if we have any say in what fate has in store for us; and one young woman’s attempt to navigate adulthood, new motherhood, and her meager bank account in our increasingly online world.
Q. How much is admission?
A. General admission to the festival grounds at USC is free. There is a small reservation fee for indoor panel tickets. Certain additional events during the festival may require a paid ticket. Advance tickets and Friend of the Festival packages (which include other benefits) are now on sale. General admission reservations open on April 20, 2025.
