SUMMARY:Author Talk With Ned McMahon: Wisdom and the Baobab Tree
DESCRIPTION:Shelburne resident and UVM professor Ned McMahon\, who is also an international development consultant and former diplomat\, is sharing his first work of fiction with us tonight! Wisdom and the Baobab Tree is about the life\, love and challenges of a somewhat intelligent\, somewhat handsome\, and slightly naïve young American who is drawn into the politics of a fictitious but realistic African country\, drawing on McMahon’s own years of work and life across the continent. This very relevant book tackles themes of both personal and national development\, and the challenges of nurturing a democratic political system in an authoritarian context.

SUMMARY:Peter Camman Author Talk: The Flies Are Too Damn Small: Adventures of a Deeply Flawed Angler
DESCRIPTION:Author and fisherman Peter Camman sets his sights on the art of storytelling\, revealing how fishing tales are their own unique form of folklore\, what makes a great story\, and how the universal appeal of the great outdoors is the perfect subject for a good yarn. Along the way he might tell a tale or two from his new book\, such as the man who catches sharks and bluefish with a drone\, the one who fashions fishing lures out of toilet chains\, and the two fellers who engineer a stampede of grasshoppers at the edge of a trout stream. Camman has been engaging readers for more than 30 years on fishing\, both those who’ve never baited a hook and the lifetime anglers. Come check out this presentation on his latest!
