Author Talk & Book Signing with Jonathan Eig
Tuesday, October 8, 7:00 PM at the Penfield Public Library
2024 Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Eig will be at Penfield Public Library! In his latest biography, King: A Life, Eig has drawn an intimate portrait of the man who has become nearly a legend today. Eig will discuss his research on Martin Luther King Jr. as a brave, flawed individual whose activism drew the eye of the FBI.
Join us for a book signing and light refreshments after the talk. You are welcome to bring your copy of Eig’s book or purchase a copy at the event.
This author event is brought to you by Penfield Public Library and East Rochester Public Library.
Sponsored by Senator Samra Brouk, Friends & Foundation of the Rochester Public Library, and Friends of Penfield Public Library.
