The Arlington Author Salon is a free reading series with a twist: each author’s presentation includes something special to tickle the senses. Music, paintings, photographs, tasty treats, fabrics, even smells! Let yourself be transported with an immersive, literary experience. October’s event features the theme: Risking it All with authors Susan Kaplan Carlton (In the Neighborhood of True), Erika Ferencik (Into the Jungle), and Lindsay Hatton (Monterey Bay). An author Q&A follows the reading and books are typically available for sale on site thanks to the Book Rack in Arlington.
Certain books were “banned in Boston” at least as far back as 1651, when one William Pynchon wrote a book criticizing Puritanism.
