Come meet local author Mark Jacobs for a book talk at the J. Robert Jamerson Memorial Library on Tuesday, October 15th, starting at 2:00pm. The Library will serve light refreshments and hot tea. His writings take place in the countries around the world where he has lived, worked, and traveled. Others take place in Broadhope County, a protectorate of the imagination situated in rural south central Virginia, where he and his wife Anne now live. Still others arise in and from the City of Niagara Falls and the Niagara Frontier, where he was born and grew up. Over 200 of his stories have been published in magazines including The Hudson Review, Evergreen Review, The Atlantic, The Baffler, The Kenyon Review, The Iowa Review, The Southern Review, and many others. This book talk is for a mature audience only.
