Doris interviews Rebecca Miller about her new novel "Jacob's Folly" at Boston Public Library
Wednesday, March 20, 2013, 6 – 7 p.m.
Central Library in Copley Square, Rabb Lecture Hall
700 Boylston Street
Boston, MA 02116
In "Jacob’s Folly," four characters: Jacob, a Jewish peddler living in 18th-century France; Leslie and Deirdre Senzatimore, a settled American couple; and Masha, an alluring young Ultra-Orthodox Jew; find their fates intertwined when Jacob is reincarnated as a fly in contemporary Long Island. Rebecca Miller is the author of the short-story collection "Personal Velocity," her feature-film adaptation of which won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, and "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee," which she also adapted for the screen.
Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin is known for her grand examinations of U.S. Presidents. Her book "No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II" won the Pulitzer Prize in History. Her most recent bestseller, "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln," was adapted into the film "Lincoln" starring Oscar-winner Daniel Day-Lewis, Rebecca Miller's husband. Goodwin’s next book brings her back to presidents: "The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism" will be published later this year.
Doris joins Team Lincoln at the 85th Academy Awards in Los Angeles. Pictured here with Daniel Day-Lewis, who made history by winning his third Academy Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role, and his wife Rebecca Miller.
