The St. Paul JCC continues to host the 2011 Twin Cities Jewish Book Fair, which “celebrates the significant contributions of today’s finest authors.”
Tonight, Wednesday, Nov. 16, Susan Orlean will speak at 7 p.m. at the JCC, 1375 St. Paul Ave. Orlean, a staff writer at the New Yorker, is the author of Rin Tin Tin: The Life And The Legend.
Her book takes readers on a tour through American pop culture in a biography of the dog actor Rin Tin Tin. At the heart, this book explores the enduring bond between humans and animals. But it is more than the story of a dog, or even a series of dogs — this book explores what it takes to create an icon.
Tickets are $6 for St. Paul JCC members and $9 for the community. For tickets and information, call 651-698-0751 or visit: www.stpauljcc.org.
Michael Wex, author of The Frumkiss Family Business, will speak 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19. Tickets are $10 for St. Paul JCC members and $15 for the community. A review of his book, which is running in our Nov. 11 print edition, is available here.
