“George Masa: A Life Reimagined” Library talk with the authors
September 11, 2024 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free
ATTN: PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS AN UPDATED PREVIOUS SUBMISSION.
What moves a person to leave all that they have known for something new, something different, something adventurous?
From Cornell University librarian Janet McCue and documentary filmmaker Paul Bonesteel comes the first comprehensively researched biography of the visionary Japanese photographer whose dedication to art and conservation helped spur the national park movement in the Great Smoky Mountains and the creation of the Appalachian Trail. Janet and Paul will discuss their groundbreaking new book, in which they tell Masa’s story in full for the first time with the benefit of years of research conducted in both the United States and Japan.
This free author event will be held at the East Asheville Library in partnership with Malaprop’s Bookstore / Cafe.
