RON CHERNOW at Seattle Public Central Library

10/13/2010 7:00 pm

Co-presented with the WASHINGTON CENTER FOR THE BOOK AT THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. National Book Award-winning biographer Ron Chernow has written about Alexander Hamilton, the "House" of Morgan, and John D. Rockefeller. He makes this Seattle appearance for what is perhaps his most masterful achievement yet with his new biography, Washington: A Life (Penguin Press). "With so much that can be said—and said positively—about this magisterial biography, it is difficult not to write a review as long as the book itself. Given the distinction of the author ... readers can safely assume from the outset that what lies ahead of them is a vastly enlightening, overwhelmingly engaging treatment of a great man ... Another book on Washington? is a question rendered pointless by this one, which happens to be the author's masterpiece. Definitive Washington is the point and effect of this biography." - Booklist. This should be a very special evening. Free admission is on a first-come, first serve basis. Seattle Public Central Library is at 1000 Fourth Avenue (between Madison & Spring). For more information, please call Elliott Bay at (206) 624-6600, The Seattle Public Library at (206) 386-4636, or see www.spl.org.
