Event Details
Join us for an exciting conversation with acclaimed actor and filmmaker Edward Burns as he presents his first novel, A Kid from Marlboro Road. Based on the childhood memories of his own upbringing and the Irish American communities of the Bronx and Long Island, this deeply personal story imagines life in an Irish-American family through the eyes of a 13-year-old boy.
In this moderated talk, Burns will discuss what inspired him to write the novel, his career as a writer and actor, and personal stories and insights that shaped the book. Burns has made fourteen feature films as a writer-director-actor and starred in many films including Saving Private Ryan and The Brothers McMullen.
Elm Street Books will be onsite to sell copies of A Kid from Marlboro Road.
