Book Talk Tonight on Roosevelt Island

I’m giving a talk tonight, June 8, 2026, at 6:30PM, sponsored by The Roosevelt Island Historical Society at the Roosevelt Island Public Library, 504 Main Street. Details here.

This is a picture I took of the ruins of the Smallpox Hospital on Roosevelt Island. Come early and you can explore this before my talk!
