MFP’s Lit Chat series continues with a discussion of Charlie Berger’s memoir, Born to Go, tracing his life from a Brooklyn childhood in the ’40s to a veterinary career in Berkeley, California. Being a vet gave him access to two wolf pups that he raised in Vermont, and Iditarod sled dog races that he worked for many years.
Please join us on Zoom at 3:00 p.m. Pacific time on Sunday, October 15th for a reading of selections from the memoir, and to talk with Charlie and his wife Erin about his book and other life exploits, such as world travel and lecturing.
“A larger-than-life personality himself, Charlie’s exploits will leave you positively breathless as you skitter across the globe with him on long-distance sled dog races or white-water paddles. . . Nothing about Charlie Berger is ordinary so don’t be surprised to find his life story, (extra)ordinary as well.” Skip Sturman, free-lance writer, world traveler, retired director of Career Services at Dartmouth College.
Lit Chat is a series of get-togethers on Zoom where you, the reader, can chat with the authors about their books. We will get together from time to time, and each meeting will feature a particular book or author(s). We will record the events and post them on our website.
UPCOMING: Our next Lit Chat event will feature poets published in our Mud Flat Verse anthology. Date and time to be announced. Subscribe to MFP news (with the form in the right sidebar) to be notified about this and more.
