Blacksburg Books presents Author Night with Allan Wolf on Friday, May 12, 2023.
Award-winning author and performance poet, Allan Wolf, demonstrates how he transforms historical fact into historical fiction. Experience the 1912 voyage of the doomed Titanic through poetry, storytelling, costume pieces, and historical photos as Wolf presents a special interactive author talk based on his multi-voice novel, "The Watch that Ends the Night: Voices from the Titanic". With a 5 foot long Titanic model "puppet," Wolf demonstrates how the ship was constructed, struck ice, broke in half & then sank. He addresses Titanic myths and facts. He brings some of the Titanic’s passengers to life: the ship’s designer, the ship’s owner, the captain, a 9-year-old boy, the "unsinkable" Molly Brown, even the iceberg itself!
"The Watch that Ends the Night" was named the North Carolina Young Adult Book of the Year by the North Carolina School Library Media Association and Booklist named it one of The Fifty Best Young Adult Books of All Time.
This event is recommended for adults and families with older kids, and it’s gonna be great!
No advance registration required, just show up.
Blacksburg Books is located at 401 South Main Street, Suite 106 in Blacksburg, VA.
