Library Live continues on Thursday, Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. with William Finnegan
William Finnegan is an award-winning reporter, a staff writer at The New Yorker, and the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book Barbarian Days, a memoir about his lifelong passion for surfing. Barbarian Days is more than just a memoir of great waves discovered and ridden. It is a story of family, friendships, love, coming-of-age, and the gradual mastering of an exacting, little-understood art, told with such lyricism and insight that even non-surfers will be swept along for the ride. Finnegan has reported extensively on conflict and culture in many different parts of the world, including Africa, Mexico, Central America, South America, Eastern Europe, the Persian Gulf, and the United States. Whether speaking about his experiences as a political journalist or his bestselling memoir, Finnegan gives audiences a fresh understanding of the world around us.
Tickets are $25/$20* and are available at 949.548.2411 or events@nbplfoundation.org.
Friends Meeting Room, Central Library 1000 Avocado Avenue, Newport Beach
