Join Anne Fadiman, one of America’s most beloved nonfiction writers, as she presents Frog and Other Essays, her new collection of evocative personal essays, which range across topics from Fadiman's deceased pet frog Bunky, to archaic printer technology, to the fraught relationship between Samuel Taylor Coleridge and his son Hartley. Fadiman will read from the book, followed by an audience Q&A and signing.
In collaboration with Jackson Hole Writers.
