Cuban-American Author to Speak at Scarsdale Library

What was it like to be a child in revolutionary Cuba? Or to be an 11-year old orphan in America in the early 1960s? On February 1, National Book Award Winner and Yale Professor Carlos Eire will speak about these experiences in the Scarsdale Library Scott Room. The event begins at 7:30 PM and is open to the public.

Professor Eire, Riggs Professor of History at Yale, is known for his scholarly work on the religious and intellectual history of the West. He won the National Book Award for his first memoir about his Cuban-American experience Waiting for Snow in Havana. His most recent work, Learning to Die in Miami, is a continuation of that story.
