An Afternoon with Tom McAllister Author of Bury Me in My Jersey: A Memoir of My Father, Football and Philly. Saturday, September 11th @ 3 pm. Presented by Wolfgang Books ~ Hosted by Steel City Coffee House
Writers on a Bridge Street Stage is back for its fall run. Tom McAllister will help us kick off (ha ha) the event when he joins us to discuss his recently published memoir Bury Me in My Jersey: A Memoir of My Father, Football and Philly. A longtime resident of the Philadelphia area and a graduate of the Iowa Writer’s Workshop, Tom now teaches at Temple University.
Bury Me in My Jersey has been called, “a profound and personal meditation on manhood itself…a wonderful book” (Justin Cronin) and “a treasure trove of a memoir, brimming over with insight, urgency, exhilaration, and grief” (Kevin Brockmeier).What’s more, the event is the day before the Eagles open up their season.
Join us at Steel City Coffee House for an interview, reading, question and answer session and booksigning, all taking place in about an hour. Copies are in stock now and will be for sale at the event. As always, we encourage yuo to arrive a little early to pick up a snack or grab a drink.
