Roscoe Book Club

Join us for our virtual Spring book club, 2022 & meet Pulitzer Prize-winning author, William Kennedy

About this event

This year we are thrilled to be reading Roscoe by local, Pulitzer Prize-winning author William Kennedy. David Hochfelder, University at Albany professor, will be guiding the first two sessions where we will explore the book and its relationship to the area. For the final session, we will be joined by the author William Kennedy and Paul Grondahl of the Writers Institue. All sessions will take place on zoom and are free and open to the public.

Wednesday March 2, 9, 16. 6-7pm

"Driven by a narrative electricity as alive as post-war America. Roscoe is Kennedy's finest novel since Ironweed." —The Boston Globe

"This is a novel that, as they say, has it all.... Kennedy is a writer with something to say, about matters that touch us all, and he does it with uncommon artistry." —Michael Thomas, The Washington Post
