New Yorker staff writer Nicholas Lemann will talk to journalist and author Dale Russakoff ("The Prize") about "Returning," his new memoir about 300 years of his Jewish family in Louisiana, exploring their stories from peddlers to plantation owners (and enslavers) as well as merchants and professionals.
"What does it mean to belong? 'Returning' offers a profound mediation on family, Jewish identity, and the meaning of home in a world constantly shaken by economic, social, and cultural change."― Henry Louis Gates Jr.
Doors open at 6 p.m. The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A and book sales and signing with Watchung Booksellers.
