The Longest Trip Home
Author: John Grogan
Monday, November 2 @ Noon
Raytheon Amphitheater, Egan Center
Grogan, author of the best-seller Marley & Me, writes a personal memoir about growing up, forging his own identity, and re-connecting and reconciling with his parents. Grogan was raised in a devout Catholic home in suburban Detroit of the 1960s and 1970s. Using a deft blend of humor and compassion, Grogan vividly illustrates his own family in a way that will cause readers to recognize and embrace their own.
"Genuinely heart-rending. . .Grogan invests these events with deeply felt humanity and pathos."—Janet Maslin, New York Times
Sponsored by Northeastern University Libraries, the Northeastern School of Journalism, and the Northeastern Bookstore.

A fundamental goal of Northeastern University Libraries' Meet the Author program is to engage the Northeastern community in exploring important issues that foster thought and discussion. Line-ups have included the Pulitzer-prize winning novelist Geraldine Brooks; founder of ethnic studies Ronald Takaki; and travel guru Arthur Frommer. Your investment of $100,000+ to name the endowed series will ensure our ability to bring top-notch speakers to campus.
