Selecting slide-show photographs for today’s (March 2) Idiot presentation at the library in Redding, California.
The Idiot chose 164 photographs — from the thousands he took during this 20-year walk around the Mediterranean Sea — for today’s presentation at the library in Redding (CA) from 3-5 pm.
He will be discussing the genesis, evolution and execution of his walk and the creation of his The Idiot and the Odyssey book trilogy with Nancy Wiegman, the host of “Nancy’s Bookshelf” on NSPR radio.
Yes, it’s in English. No, there’s no admission charge. Yes, there’s free wine.
