As part of its WellSpring Series, The Osborn will host Ian Frazier, author of “Paradise Bronx: The Life and Times of New York’s Greatest Borough,” on Thursday, November 6 at 7:00 pm. The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held at The Osborn Auditorium (101 Theall Road, Rye, NY).
Ian Frazier is a renowned American non-fiction author and humorist for The New Yorker. For the past 15 years, he has been walking the Bronx. His book reveals the amazingly rich and tumultuous history of the borough, including its crucial role in the American Revolution, the boom era of the 20th century, when immigrants fled the jam-packed Lower East Side to “Paradise Bronx,” and the birth of hip-hop and current revitalization. The author will be available to sign purchased copies of the book.
