For our second Succeed2gether’s Montclair Literary Festival at Home event, we welcome Erik Larson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Devil in the White City and Dead Wake, to talk about his latest book, The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz with longtime Montclair resident and bestselling author, Christina Baker Kline.

This is part of Succeed2gether’s Montclair Literary Festival at Home series and replaces the event originally planned for Saturday March 28 at 6:30 pm.

If you bought a ticket to the original event, you will have been invited to attend this event already. If you didn’t already buy a ticket, you can purchase an online-event only ticket ($10) via PayPal link here (two-step process – pay via PayPal and then you will be sent an invite to join the event).

If you are joining the online event only, you can buy The Splendid and the Vile from Festival partner Watchung Booksellers here. Shipping or contactless pick-up only.

Succeed2gether’s fourth annual Montclair Literary Festival was scheduled for March 25 to 29, 2020. Due to the current health crisis, Festival Day is now planned for Saturday September 12, 2020. The festival is a fundraiser for Montclair-based non-profit Succeed2gether, which offers after-school one-on-one tutoring and enrichment classes with the aim of closing the education opportunity gap in Essex County.

The festival organizing committee wishes to thank event partners Succeed2gether staff, First Congregational Church, and Watchung Booksellers, and festival sponsors Rao’s, Montclair State University, West of Hudson Realty Group, Montclair Public Library, and community members.
