The East Hampton Library will present the final event in its 2025 Tom Twomey Series on Saturday, November 8, from 3 to 4:30 PM, with “Biography as Pilgrimage: On the Trail of Peter Matthiessen.” This event is co-sponsored by The Peter Matthiessen Center.
Author Lance Richardson will discuss his eight-year undertaking—including a two-hundred-mile trek in the Himalayas—to write a biography of the late Peter Matthiessen, whose trailblazing work championed Native American rights and helped usher in the modern environmental movement. Matthiessen’s books include travel classic “The Snow Leopard,” and “Men’s Lives;” a moving account of the lives and struggles of East End Bonackers.
Following the talk, Richardson will sign copies of his recently published book, “True Nature: The Pilgrimage of Peter Matthiessen,” which BookHampton will make available for purchase at the event.
Admission is free. The program will be presented in the Library’s Baldwin Family Lecture Room. Advanced reservations are requested but not required. For additional event information and to reserve a seat, visit TomTwomeySeries.org
