Event Descriptions
John Hodgman interviewed by Tom Perrotta
12:30 p.m., Old South Church Sanctuary.
Novelist Tom Perrotta made his reputation through attention to craft, with novels including Election, Little Children, and The Abstinence Teacher. His one-time student John Hodgman took a more improbable route to notoriety: by depicting a PC in the “Get a Mac” ads, providing commentary as a “resident expert” on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and writing the books The Areas of My Expertise and More Information Than You Require. Tom will grill (or perhaps roast, as on a slow-burning fire) the man whose irresistible humor begat Hodgmania on topics ranging from the sublime to the downright silly.
