Veteran New York Times reporter Tim Egan is a talented journalist and recently became a Times on-line columnist. In 2001, he and a team of Times reporters won the Pulitzer Prize for a series called “How Race Is Lived in America.” |
Egan also is an award-winning author of five books, including “The Worst Hard Time,” a history of the 1930s Dust Bowl, which won the National Book Award for non-fiction in 2006. In a recent column on the joys of books and reading he wrote, “For most of my lifetime, I’ve heard that reading is dead. In that time, disco has died, drive-in movies have nearly died, and something called The Clapper has come and gone through bedrooms across the nation. But reading? This year, about 400 million books will be sold in the United States. Overall, business is up 1 percent — not bad, in a rough economy, for a $15 billion industry.”
Join us on April 9 to hear this thoughtful and provocative commentator draw upon his deep knowledge of politics, economics and conservation.
Tim Egan, Seattle, has deep roots in the Northwest. He grew up in Spokane and has hiked and fished his way across northern Idaho for years.
