Join Print: A Bookstore and the MWPA (Maine Writers' and Publishers' Alliance) for a very special event celebrating bestselling author Erik Larson's newest book, The Demon of Unrest: A Saga of Hubris, Heartbreak, and Heroism at the Dawn of the Civil War in conversation with Richard Russo at Stevens Square Community Center on Monday, May 20th, at 7 PM.
Larson, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Splendid and the Vile brings to life the pivotal five months between the election of Abraham Lincoln and the start of the Civil War—a simmering crisis that finally tore a deeply divided nation in two.

Tickets are required. Each ticket is $40 and will include 1 general admission seat at the event, and 1 copy of The Demon of Unrest. Every attendee needs their own ticket. There will be no admittance without a ticket.
