Rinker Buck, author of three New York Times best-sellers, will describe how the small, even prosaic events of his early years determined his future as a writer. He read all the books in his father’s library and distinguished himself from 10 brothers and sisters by quoting them to his father’s friends. His “trainwreck youth” taught him that writing worked for him. His latest book is “Life on the Mississippi: An Epic American Adventure.”
