Dan Barry’s THIS LAND: AMERICA, LOST AND FOUND:  A Conversation with Colum McCann

Dan Barry’s THIS LAND: AMERICA, LOST AND FOUND: A Conversation with Colum McCann

on the Francis J. Greenburger Mainstage

FREE EVENT

Monday, October 29, 2018 at 7pm

Signed copies of This Land: America, Lost and Found by Dan Barry will be available for purchase at the event

“Dan Barry gives dignity even to the darkest corners of the American experience. He is the closest thing we have to a contemporary Steinbeck.” – Colum McCann

In this special one-night only free event, journalist Dan Barry discusses his new book, This Land: America, Lost and Found, with acclaimed Irish author Colum McCann.
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina and on the eve of a national recession, New York Times writer Dan Barry launched a column about America – not the one populated only by cable-news pundits, but the America defined and redefined by those who clean the hotel rooms, tend the beet fields, endure disasters both natural and manmade. For more than a decade, Barry crisscrossed the country, filing deeply moving stories from the tiniest dot on the American map to the city that calls itself the Capital of the World.

In This Land: America, Lost and Found (Black Dog & Leventhal; September 11, 2018), Barry selects nearly 100 essays from a decade of his distinctive This Land columns that explore uniquely American moments from every corner of our country.

Copies of This Land: America, Lost and Found will be available for purchase in the Irish Rep lobby. Dan Barry will be signing books immediately following this discussion.
