TOMORROW: David Talbot at the Booksmith

Given all the books on Princess Di in the pipeline for next season, it seems fitting that Salon founder DAVID TALBOT has gone against the grain to focus on America’s version of a royal family. Brothers: A Hidden History of the Kennedy Years is an in-depth look at John and Robert that sheds fresh insight on their administration and their ambitions. Interviews with more than 150 persons close to the brothers plus the release of concealed government documents put Talbot in a prime position to uncover new truths. The Kennedy saga lives on Tuesday at the Brookline Booksmith, 279 Harvard St, Boston | 7 pm | free | 617.566.6660.
