John Hodgman and Tom Perrotta share the stage at the Boston Book Festival
John Hodgman and Tom Perrotta will be joining us on October 24th for a freewheeling conversation about the best path to a literary career. Is it teaching and writing (in Tom's case) or cheesemongering and impersonating a personal computer (in John's case)?
With two such acerbic and hilarious authors, we predict that this event will be unpredictable to say the least. John Hodgman is Resident Expert on The Daily Show with John Stewart, and the author of The Areas of My Expertise and More Information Than You Require (out in paperback this fall). Additionally, this Brookline native has unexpectedly become a famous television personality, appearing as the "PC" in a series of commercials for Apple brand computers.
Tom Perrotta is the author of six works of fiction including Election, Joe College, Little Children and The Abstinence Teacher. Both Election (1999) and Little Children (2006) have been made into acclaimed feature films. Perrotta lives outside of Boston with his family.
Tom and John join our long list of exciting Festival Authors, promising an unbelievable line-up on October 24th.The time and location for this event will be announced in the beginning of October. We at the BBF are very excited about this particular session and we hope to see you there!
