Thursday, October 5th, from 6pm to 8pm, the MIT Communications Forum welcomes author and humorist Sarah Vowell!!! You probably know Sarah Vowell’s voice from her role as Violet in The Incredibles or from her radio essays on This American Life. She’s also the author of seven brilliant, best-selling nonfiction books, which have covered everything from cranky cartographers and religious zealots to overthrown Hawaiian queens and presidential assassins.
Join Vowell at the MIT Communications Forum for a special conversation, audience Q&A, and book signing. Free -- but seating is limited! More details below.
