JUNE 9 WRITERS BLOC: LAWRENCE WRIGHT 5 p.m.

Join Writers Bloc with author Lawrence Wright. So much went wrong as people absorbed the breathtaking ferocity of COVID-19. Lawrence Wright, author of “The Looming Tower” and “Going Clear,” weaves together the maddening, sometimes farcical, sometimes comical, story of not only what went wrong, but how and why the response to COVID-19 toggled between the catastrophic and heroic. In his new book, “The Plague Year,” Lawrence moves readers from “an evolving situation,” to “fl attening the curve,” to full-on nightmare. “The Plague Year” makes clear that this story is an ongoing global drama, and no one could tell it better than Lawrence Wright. https://writersblocpresents.com/main/ lawrence-wright/
