Award Winning Authors Hosted By Mitchel Levitas Of The New York Times

01:25PM / Tuesday, September 29, 2009

NEW MARLBOROUGH, Mass. – On Saturday, October 3 at 4:30pm, nationally recognized authors Roy Blount Jr., Jayne Anne Phillips and Elizabeth Kolbert will present recently published work in an event hosted by Mitchel Levitas of The New York Times. There will be a reception and book signing afterwards in the Meeting House Gallery.

Writer and humorist Roy Blount Jr. has authored twenty-one books on everything from the Pittsburgh Steelers to Robert E. Lee to what dogs are thinking. He is currently a popular panelist on the NPR news quiz show, Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me. He will be discussing his most recent book, Alphabet Juice of which Garrison Keillor writes, “Blount is the best. He can be literate, uncouth, and soulful, all in one sentence.”

Jayne Anne Phillips is the author of four novels and three collections of stories. Her works have been translated and published in twelve languages. Her most recent book, Lark & Termite was described by the New York Times as  “intricate, deeply felt…[it] reverberates with echoes of Faulkner, Woolf, Kerouac, McCullers.”

Elizabeth Kolbert has been a staff writer for The New Yorker magazine since 1999. Prior to that she was a reporter for The New York Times. Her most recent book, Field Notes From a Catastrophe chronicles Ms. Kolbert’s travels to Alaska, Iceland, Washington DC and beyond as she reports on the impact of global warming on communities around the world.

Mitchel Levitas has been at The New York Times for over 40 years in various senior editorial positions, including as editor of The Book Review.

Tickets are $20 and $15. Please call (413) 229-2785 or visit www.newmarlborough.org for further information. All events are held in the newly renovated performance space of  the New Marlborough Meeting House, a landmark 1839 Greek revival building located on Route 57 on the village green of New Marlborough. Music & More is sponsored by the New Marlborough Village Association.

Enjoy a 10% discount at the Old Inn On The Green following each event. Advance reservations are required. Call (413) 229-7924.
