More Than 25 Writers to Visit Central Library in Copley Square
The Boston Public Library’s Fall Author Talk Series has a magnificent schedule with over 25 celebrated writers coming to Copley Square in just three months time, including memoirists, poets, nonfiction writers, and such popular novelists as Wally Lamb and Audrey Niffenegger.
Topics to be discussed span from the curse that befell the Red Sox, a behind-the-scenes look at The Simpsons, an individual’s effect on our planet, and biographies of visionary director Robert Altman, novelist Louisa May Alcott, and prizefighter Sugar Ray Robinson.
All authors will take questions from the audience and will sign books. Talks are free and begin at 6 p.m. at the Central Library in Copley Square, located at 700 Boylston Street. Additional details are available online at www.bpl.org or by calling 617.536.5400. The Fall Author Talk Series page on the Boston Public Library web site is:
