Friends Author Series: Jason Gay
We are excited to welcome Belmont native son and New York Times best-selling author Jason Gay back to talk about his newest book, I Wouldn’t Do That If I Were Me: Modern Blunders and Modest Triumphs (but Mostly Blunders). In Gay’s most recent work, he takes a humorous and insightful look at life in the face of overwhelming societal change that we never anticipated—from the effects on parenthood, marriage, friendship, work, and play to all other aspects of the strange lives we find ourselves living.
Jason Gay is the sports and humor columnist at the Wall Street Journal, and he is very aware of how that sounds. In 2010, 2016, and 2019, Gay was named Sports Columnist of the Year by the Society of Professional Journalists. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller Little Victories and a finalist for the 2016 Thurber Prize in American Humor.
Registration is required. Please fill out the form here to sign up. Zoom access details will be sent in a reminder email prior to the program.
This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Belmont Public Library and is presented in partnership with the public libraries of Andover, Ashland, Danvers, Franklin, Nashua NH, Norwood, Wayland, and Woburn.
