Frank Bruni has been an Op-Ed columnist for The New York Times since June 2011.
In his column, which appears every Sunday and Wednesday, he reflects on diverse topics including American politics, higher education, gay rights and his own life as a gay man in a close-knit Italian-American family.
He joined the newspaper in 1995 and has ranged broadly across its pages.
He has been a White House correspondent, the chief restaurant critic, a staff writer for The Times Magazine and the Rome bureau chief.
He is the author of three New York Times best sellers, the most recent of which, “Where You Go Is Not Who You’ll Be: An Antidote to the College Admissions Mania,” was published in March 2015 to widespread acclaim.
It will be released in paperback on March 8th, coinciding with his appearance at Landmark.
His previous best sellers were the 2009 memoir “Born Round” and a 2002 chronicle of George W. Bush’s initial presidential campaign, “Ambling into History.”
This event is generously sponsored by Vernon and Robin McDermott and Baron and Mara Silverstein. The venue is donated by Landmark on Main Street. Refreshments graciously provided by Leo and Kay Ullman. Mr. Bruni’s books will be available for purchase, provided by The Dolphin Bookshop, and he will be signing copies after the presentation.
