Event Descriptions
Ties that Bind
11 a.m., Old South Church Sanctuary.
Meet the family in fiction. Two generations of academics are drawn to Cape Cod in Pulitzer Prize-winner Richard Russo’s new novel, That Old Cape Magic. In Man Gone Down, Michael Thomas plumbs the brilliant mind of a black man who came of age during Boston’s busing era, marries a white woman, and has an existential crisis in Brooklyn. Modernizing the classic Manhattan screwball comedy, Elinor Lipman surrounds The Family Man–here a sensible gay dad–with a paparazzi-stalked daughter and a needy, newly widowed ex-wife. Hosted by Bret Anthony Johnston, Director of Creative Writing at Harvard and author of Corpus Christi: Stories.
