Epic Summer Adventures with Andre Dubus III and The Tannery Series
June 18, 2015 | 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
$10
Need some serious inspiration for your next road trip? Join the Tannery Series and award-winning author Andre Dubus III, as we take a turn on America’s storied byways, meandering from the glamour of Hollywood boulevards to the gritty streets of Massachusetts mill towns. Dubus will read and discuss the role of travel–from epic migrations to summer road-trips–in the American imagination and in his own work. The evening includes craft beer tastings, folk music, the paintings of Thomas Hart Benton and a rollicking book talk. You’ll leave this book-ish party ready to pack your bags for an epic adventure of your own.
June 18th, 7pm, Peabody Essex Museum, 161 Essex Street, Salem. MA
This event is part of The Tannery Series’ on-going collaboration with the Peabody Essex Museum and will take place at the museum during their PEM/PM program.
