Timothy Egan was nominated for a prestigious Carnegie Medal prize by the American Library Association for his nonfiction book, ”Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher.” It is a great honor and he will need to be in Chicago on Sunday June 30, so we have changed our event to accommodate his travel. Fortunately for all of us, he is able to be with us on Friday, June 28th for our event!
TIMOTHY EGAN is a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and the author of seven books, most recently “Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher,” named Best of the Month by Amazon.com. His book on the Dust Bowl, “The Worst Hard Time,” won a National Book Award for nonfiction and was named a New York Times Editors’ Choice, a New York Times Notable Book, a Washington State Book Award winner, and a Book Sense Book of the Year Honor Book. He writes a weekly column, “Opinionator,” for the New York Times.
SAM HOWE VERHOVEK is a former national correspondent for The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times. A Boston native, he lives in Seattle with his wife, Lisa, and their children. In “Jet Age: The Comet, the 707, and the Race to Shrink the World”, Sam explores the advent of the first generation of jet airliners and the people who designed, built, and flew them.
