Program Description

Event Details

We are thrilled to welcome author Elinor Lipman - one of the most beloved comedic writers of our time - to present her new book, Every Tom, Dick and Harry. It’s a charming, laugh-out-loud tale of love and criminality, a pitch-perfect romantic comedy.

Get your copy of the book hot off the press! It will be released the day before this event on February 11th. Elm Street Books will be on site selling books. 

Elinor Lipman is the author of eight novels about contemporary American society and a collection of short stories. Born and raised in Lowell, Massachusetts, Lipman graduated from Simmons College where she studied journalism. Her first novel, Then She Found Me, became a 2008 feature film, directed by and starring Helen Hunt, with Bette Midler, Colin Firth, and Matthew Broderick. Ms. Lipman lives in Western Massachusetts and Manhattan and received the New England Book award for fiction in 2001.
