At The Studios of Key West, next door to Books & Books @ The Studios, a book discussion and signing with Dar Williams, author of WHAT I FOUND IN A THOUSAND TOWNS, Saturday, January 12 at 3pm.
Dar Williams, a beloved folk singer, presents an impassioned account of the fall and rise of the small American towns she cherishes through her book WHAT I FOUND IN A THOUSAND TOWNS. Here, she muses on why some towns flourish while others fail, examining elements from the significance of history and nature to the uniting power of public spaces and food. Drawing on her own travels and the work of urban theorists, Williams offers real solutions to rebuild declining communities.
Dubbed by the New Yorker as “one of America’s very best singer-songwriters,” Dar Williams has made her career not in stadiums, but touring America’s small towns. She has played their venues, composed in their coffee shops, and drunk in their bars. She has seen these communities struggle, but also seen them thrive in the face of postindustrial identity crises.
