This is the week of 1 Book 1 Valley’s big event. Roland Merullo, author of The Talk-Funny Girl, will be in the Mount Washington Valley on Thursday, October 24, first for a discussion with local writers’ groups (all are welcome) at 2 pm at Granite State College. Then, the big event is at 7 pm, when Roland Merullo will read from and talk about the book, and answer your questions at the Lutheran Church of the Nativity in North Conway. (The World Series starts over an hour later, come and still see most of the game.)
