Author Talk: Elizabeth Samet

Elizabeth Samet, author of No Man’s Land: Preparing for War and Peace in Post 9/11 America and a professor of literature at West Point, will speak on Saturday, February 6 (please note rescheduled date), at 4 p.m. as part of Carlisle Reads 2016, sponsored by the Friends of Gleason Public Library. This talk is free and open to the public and will be held at the Carlisle School’s Corey Auditorium, 83 School Street.

In No Man’s Land, Elizabeth D. Samet offers a moving, urgent examination of what it means to negotiate the tensions between war and peace, between “over there” and “over here” -- between life on the front and life at home. She takes the reader on a vivid tour of this new landscape, marked as much by the scars of war as by the ordinary upheavals of homecoming, to capture the essence of our current historical moment.
