Scott Simon at The Book Stall

SCOTT SIMON             Wednesday, April 8            7 pm at The Book Stall

We're delighted to welcome Scott Simon back to The Book Stall for a conversation about his new book Unforgettable: A Son, a Mother, and the Lessons of a Lifetime. Simon, a local native and the popular host of NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday, will tell us the story behind his book, which had its origin in tweets Simon sent in 2013 from the Northwestern Hospital ICU in Chicago as he chronicled his mother's final days and her colorful life.   Click here for an NPR All Things Considered story about how Mr. Simon chronicled his mother's passing and how listeners reacted, and here to read an essay by Mr. Simon that appeared in last Sunday's New York Times "Sunday Review" section.
