OLLI’s next One Book event will feature The Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionne, by Ron Currie. Currie will speak about his book in conversation with Franco-American poet Jeri Theriault.
The program will include a continental breakfast; the fee for the event is $25 and registration is required. Participants are asked to purchase or borrow a copy of the book.
As an optional reflection on your reading, Currie has shared an essay prompt: "In what way has your family's distant past had a direct effect on who you are?" Submit up to 500 words no later than February 24 and your essay may be selected to be shared at the event. Essays can be emailed to richard.cass@maine.edu.
