An Evening with Erik Larson

An Evening with Erik Larson

Presented by Mt. Lebanon Public Library at Mellon Middle School Auditorium

Erik Larson is a master of narrative non-fiction. His vividly written, bestselling books have won several awards and been published worldwide.  His book, Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania, is about the 1915 sinking of the ocean liner Lusitania. Dead Wake was #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list. His book, In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror and an American Family in Hitler’s Berlin, is a vivid portrait of the American ambassador and his family in Berlin during the first years of Hitler’s reign from which Larson has crafted a gripping, deeply-intimate narrative. His critically-acclaimed book, The Devil in the White City, intertwines the stories of the Chicago 1893 World’s Fair and one of America’s worst serial killers. It remained on the New York Times bestseller lists for a combined total of over six years, won an Edgar Award for nonfiction crime writing, and was nominated for the National Book Award.

Erik's books will be available for purchase from City Books at the lecture and VIP reception. Attendees may also bring their own book to be signed.
