SUMMARY:Displaced at Home: An American Tale
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Joan Hilty\, editorial director at Nickelodeon. \nJoin Sophie Yanow (The Contradictions)\, Mike Hawthorne (Happiness Will Follow)\, and Kiku Hughes (Displacement) as they discuss stories that tackle the hard truths.

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Hot Springs Before Hot Pants
DESCRIPTION:In Florida’s Healing Waters: Gilded Age Mineral Springs\, Seaside Resorts\, and Health Spas\, Rick Kilby explores the Victorian belief that water promoted healing and rehabilitation\, and a little-known time in Florida history – well before South Beach became an international getaway for cocktails and clubbing – when tourists poured into the state in search of good health\, rather than a good time. Speaking with him is Joy Wallace Dickinson\, who has written hundreds of “Florida Flashback” features in the Orlando Sentinel chronicling Central Florida’s past\, and is the author of several books\, including Remembering Orlando: Tales from Elvis to Disney. \nSponsored by

SUMMARY:In Conversation: A Journey to the Heart of Florida
DESCRIPTION:Event starts Sunday\, November 15 at 5:30 p.m. \nIn 2016\, Kent Russell – restless and thirsting for adventure – embarked on an odyssey-like trek throughout Florida\, an experience he wryly chronicled across the pages of In the Land of Good Living: A Journey to the Heart of Florida\, a memoir that’s equal parts Jack Kerouac\, kamikaze travelogue\, and historical tome. It’s a vivid\, encyclopedic\, erudite\, ferociously irreverent and deeply ambivalent love letter to Russell’s home state\, and he’s revisiting his (mis)adventures with Chris Beha\, author of The Index of Self-Destructive Acts and executive editor of Harper’s Magazine. \nSponsored by
