The Jewish Federation of Fort Wayne will host New York Times bestselling author Mitch Albom for the annual People of the Book lecture at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21, at the Auer Performance Hall on the PFW Campus, 2101 E. Coliseum Blvd.
Mitch Albom is an internationally renowned and best-selling author, journalist, screenwriter, playwright, radio and television broadcaster, and musician. He is a graduate of Brandeis University and earned two master’s degrees from Columbia
University. His books regularly debut at #1, have collectively sold more than 40 million copies in 48 languages, and have been made into Emmy Award-winning and critically acclaimed television movies.
His book Tuesdays with Morrie, released in 1997, spent four years on the New York Times bestseller list and is the bestselling memoir of all time. Subsequent books include The Five People You Meet in Heaven, For One More Day, The Time Keeper, and The First Phone Call from Heaven. Have a Little Faith, published in
2009, was named the best nonfiction book of that year by Oprah Winfrey.
Albom now spends the majority of his time in philanthropic work. He has founded numerous charities, most of them in Detroit, but also including the Have Faith Haiti Mission in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, a home and school for children.
The program is free, but everyone must have a ticket. For free tickets, go to pfw.edu/tickets and select Jewish Federation of Fort Wayne.
