You're invited to celebrate publication of Thomas Swick's new book, 'Falling Into Place" with a party and book signing.
Please join us for a lively talk by Thomas Swick, whose memoir "Falling into Place" ties the story of his quest to become a travel writer to that of Poland’s struggle to regain its independence. Swick married his Polish girlfriend in Warsaw in 1980 and stayed for two years – teaching English, learning Polish, and witnessing the rise of Solidarity and the beginning of the end of the Cold War. At the same time, travel writing was experiencing a renaissance, thanks to people like Paul Theroux and Bruce Chatwin, and the book captures the excitement – both political and literary – of those years. And it adds a love story to the mix.
Thomas Swick was born in Phillipsburg, NJ, and lives with his wife Hania in Fort Lauderdale, FL, where he worked for 19 years as travel editor of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. He is the author of four books and his work has appeared in national magazines and newspapers, literary quarterlies, online publications, and various anthologies, including six editions of The Best American Travel Writing. In his free time, he plays tennis, takes photographs, and draws cartoons; some of his writing and cartoons can be
found on his website: www.thomasswick.com
The author will give a short reading and invite a Q&A session. Live music and refreshments round out the evening. We look forward to seeing you here!
