Book Event: Sam Sussman with John Burnham Schwartz

Sam Sussman presents Boy from the North Country

In conversation with John Burnham Schwartz

New York writer Sam Sussman presents Boy from the North Country, a stunning debut novel, based on his Harper’s Magazine memoir essay, “The Silent Type: On (Possibly) Being Bob Dylan’s Son.” One of the most tender and intimate mother-son relationships of our era, Boy from the North Country grants us a rare view into the creative life of Bob Dylan. This revelatory novel is an emotionally searing meditation on the most essential human themes: loss, healing, art, memory, and the redemptive power of love. Sussman's editor, bestselling author and screenwriter John Burnham Schwartz (The Commoner and Reservation Road), joins him for an intimate conversation on the origins and writing of the novel, before an audience Q&A and signing.
