Author Presentation: Kirk Wallace Johnson

Presented in partnership with the Roaring Fork Conservancy, author Kirk Wallace Johnson will visit the library for a presentation featuring his book “The Feather Thief: Beauty, Obsession, and the Natural History Heist of the Century”. A gripping story of a bizarre and shocking crime, this book is also a fascinating exploration of one man’s relentless pursuit of justice, obsession, and man’s destructive instinct to harvest the beauty of nature.

“Fascinating . . . a complex tale of greed, deception, and ornithological sabotage.” —The New York Times Book Review
