Speaking on American Character, Portland, Maine, Mar. 30

This Wednesday, March 30th, I'll be presenting American Character at the Portland Public Library's Rines Auditorium here in Maine.

The event, which kicks off at 5:30, is free, open to the public, and hosted by my excellent employers, MaineToday Media, parent company of the Portland Press Herald / Maine Sunday Telegram, with an assist from publishers Viking Press. There will be a reception and, courtesy of Longfellow Books, a book signing on site. My boss, Press Herald executive editor Cliff Schechtman is kindly doing the introduction.

The hosts only ask that you RSVP via this Facebook page for the event. Do come if you can.

For those who are patrons of the Boston Athenaeum, I'll be speaking there the following night, March. 31; it's free for members, $15 for non-members. Full event schedule, as always, can be found here.
