Book talk and signing with Tamim Ansary / Road Trips: Becoming an American in the Vapor Trail of The Sixties
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Now that we are entering the Age of Trump, it’s time for a look back. Tamim Ansary hosts an evening of reading, storytelling, music, and conversation about the Age of Nixon – the setting for his new memoir Road Trips: Becoming an American in the Vapor Trail of The Sixties. Let’s discuss then and now and discuss the way forward.
In the book, Ansary tells the story of three journeys he made between 1969 and 1975 from his home base of Portland, Oregon, as the counterculture was dying out. It’s not just about what happened on the road but what led to leaving and what came of having gone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tamim Ansary grew up in Afghanistan but arrived in America just in time to catch the ‘60s. His memoir West of Kabul, East of New York was San Francisco’s One City One Book pick for 2008. He ran the San Francisco Writers Workshop for 22 years and now teaches private memoir-writing workshops at home.
