Author Nicholas Boggs will be talking about his instant New York Times bestseller, "Baldwin: A Love Story," with Rachel Swarns ("The 272"), an associate professor at NYU's journalism school. “Lively and vigorously researched . . . Boggs has dug much deeper than his predecessors . . . "Baldwin: A Love Story" is superlative, and it should become the new gold standard for Baldwin studies.” Los Angeles Times

Doors open at 3:30 p.m. The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A and book sales and signing with Watchung Booksellers.
