Reading: Lawrence Millman at Treasure House Books & Gifts, Old Town Albuquerque
April 28 @ 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm
Free
Lawrence Millman, author and mycologist, will be reading from and signing Outsider: My Boyhood with Thoreau at Treasure House Books & Gifts, 2012 South Plaza, NW, Albuquerque, New Mexico on Sunday, April 28, 2024 at 1:30 p.m.
Outsider: My Boyhood with Thoreau is a memoir told in vignettes. Early on, Millman found in Thoreau a kindred spirit, far outside of the mainstream social, sporting, and educational interests he was expected to be cultivating. And like Thoreau, he would rather be out-of-doors — where he could socialize with mushrooms, insects, or earthworms — than stuck in any indoor locale.
Come hear Lawrence Millman at Treasure House Books & Gifts!
