Distinguished Authors To Discuss Their Work And Life At St. John’s.

St. Johns COllegeAcclaimed authors Meg Wolitzer, Manil Suri, and Kenneth Walsh, will discuss their latest works of fiction and nonfiction involving the triumph of enduring friendships, a fantastical search for a lost loved one, and a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the presidency. This special event will be held at the Francis Scott Key Auditorium on Sunday, November 10 at 3 p.m.

Set in the 1970s, Wolitzer’s New York Times bestselling novel, “The Interestings,” follows a group of five teenagers from diverse backgrounds who meet at a summer camp and survive as friends through the competitions and realities of growing up.  Wolitzer’s other novels include “The Uncoupling” and “The Ten-Year Nap.” “The City of Devi,” the final novel in Suri’s trilogy, sets a love triangle in India against international threats and civil unrest. Suri is a mathematics professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. In his latest work of nonfiction, “Prisoners of the White House,” veteran White House correspondent Walsh provides a revealing account of efforts by presidents—from Franklin Roosevelt to Barack Obama—to remain connected to the American people, despite the isolation of the Oval Office.
