Event Details

Now that we are entering the Age of Trump, it’s time for a look back. Tamim Ansary hosts an evening of reading, storytelling, music, and conversation about the Age of Nixon – the setting for his new memoir Road Trips: Becoming an American in the Vapor Trail of The Sixties. Let’s discuss then and now and discuss the way forward.

In the book, Ansary tells the story of three journeys he made between 1969 and 1975 from his home base of Portland, Oregon, as the counterculture was dying out. It’s not just about what happened on the road but what led to leaving and what came of having gone.
