Edward Weingold To Read His New Novel At Scotts Library Event

From Santa Cruz Public Libraries:

November 15 2019

Author Edward Weingold will read from his new historical novel, A Map of the World (With All Faults).

A bloodstained map published in the very first atlas of the world (1570) comes up for sale at a San Francisco auction house in 2016. The novel charts the journey of the map through WWII and its impact on all the owners from its creation to the adult daughter of the little girl who was hidden from the Nazis in 1944. With character-driven twists, the story traces how religious/political intolerance rears its familiar head.

Edward Weingold is a produced playwright of 12 plays, 20 runs, and has staged 120 shows in the U.S. and England during his 30-year career in the theatre. He has previously published short stories in Santa Cruz Weird and the Porter Gulch Review among others. Weingold has written and recorded a monthly piece for National Public Radio's affiliate feature First Person Singular for over a decade. He has lived in Santa Cruz since 1984.
