About this event
Join us for “An Evening with Evan Osnos” on Tuesday, May 10, at 7 p.m. at Shakespeare & Company's Tina Packer Playhouse in Lenox, Mass. This in-person event is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
In his latest book, “Wildland: The Making of America’s Fury,” New Yorker writer and National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize winner Evan Osnos reports on ordinary Americans in a time of pandemic, political turmoil and the pursuit of racial justice. Returning to three communities in which he has lived, Osnos traces changes in American politics and culture through the period from the attacks of Sept. 11 in 2001 to the assault on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Osnos will be joined in discussion by Renée Loth, an opinion columnist and former editorial page editor at The Boston Globe.
Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, and Osnos will sign copies of his book.
"An Evening with Evan Osnos" is inspired by the Bridging Divides, Healing Communities Speakers Series, launched in the spring of 2021 by Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, The Berkshire Eagle and Berkshire Bank to explore forces and trends that create division in our society, and possible local action that can build common ground.
This event is presented by Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, the Authors Guild Foundation, The Berkshire Eagle and Berkshire Bank.
