Local authors discuss and sign works
Leonora Burton will discuss her memoir Lament of an Expat: How I Discovered America and Tried to Mend It Thursday, June 20, at 7 p.m. Much of the book takes place in Philipstown and details how strange the United States looks through this pair of Welsh eyes.
Saturday, June 22, at 2 p.m. Roger Lipsey will talk about his new biography Dag Hammarskjöld: A Life. Kirkus Reviews called it “a monumental life, spiritual and intellectual more than purely biographical, of the great Swedish diplomat and author.”
Patricia King, whose penname is Annamaria Alfieri, will share her new novel Blood Tango Saturday, June 29, also at 2 p.m. Manuel Munoz said: “With a spectacular cast of characters who cover the wide spectrum of Argentine politics in the Perón era, Annamaria Alfieri fashions a sly mystery around the most intriguing figure of them all, Eva.”
