LLLCF presents its Distinguished Speaker Series in August

The Lafayette Library and Learning Center Foundation will present three author discussions as part of its Distinguished Speaker Series Aug. 9, 10 and 19.

Author Anthony Marra will speak at 7 p.m. Aug. 9 in the Don Tatzin Community Hall about his book, "Mercury Pictures Presents," a love letter to life's bit players, a panorama of an era that casts a long shadow over our own, and a tour de force by a novelist whose work The Washington Post calls "a flash in the heavens that makes you look up and believe in miracles," according to the LLLCF website. Tickets are $30 and include a copy of "Mercury Pictures Presents."

On Aug. 10 Emi Nietfeld will discuss her memoir, "Acceptance" at 7 p.m. in the Don Tatzin Community Hall. "Acceptance" is described as a luminous, generation-defining memoir of foster care and homelessness, Harvard and Big Tech, examining society's fixation with resilience - and its cost. Tickets are $27 and include a copy of Nietfeld's memoir.

And on Aug. 19 at 2 p.m. in the Don Tatzin hall, in partnership with Orinda Books, author Daniel Stone will discuss his book, "Sinkable: Obsession, the Deep Sea, and the Shipwreck of the Titanic" which is part narrative history and part adventure, filled with colorful characters and fascinating science that reveals a crucial part of the Titanic's story almost no one ever examines. "Brimming with humor, curiosity and wit," according to the LLLCF website, "`Sinkable' follows in the tradition of Susan Orlean and Bill Bryson, offering up a page-turning work of personal journalism and an immensely entertaining romp through the deep sea and the nature of obsession."
