SUMMARY:Marathon Reading of Billy Budd\, Sailor
DESCRIPTION:Join us and our friends at Hot Plate Brewing Co. (1 School Street\, Pittsfield\, MA) for a special marathon reading of Herman Melville’s Billy Budd\, Sailor. The event is the official kickoff of a months-long celebration of the centennial of the novella’s publication.  To mark the occasion\, Sarah Real\, Hot Plate owner and head brewer\,  has created an English IPA\, appropriately named the Handsome Sailor. Sign up for a reading slot or just come\, imbibe\, and listen! \nPublished posthumously in 1924\, Billy Budd\, Sailor brought Melville out of obscurity\, earning him the fame he so richly deserved\, and ensuring his place among America’s literary giants. \nUse the BOOK NOW button at berkshirehistory.org to sign up for a 15-minute reading slot.  The event is free\, but a $5 donation is appreciated. \nThis event is sponsored by The Feigenbaum Foundation.
