Wicked Local
On Tuesday, Feb. 23, international bestselling author Brunonia Barry will reflect on the city she calls home and speak to how Salem has inspired her writing throughout her successful, productive career. The virtual presentation, from 6 to 7 p.m., is free of charge and sponsored by The House of the Seven Gables.
With three bestselling novels linked to Salem still widely read throughout the world, a fourth novel recently completed, and a fifth novel in its creative infancy, Barry has found Salem to be a source of limitless inspiration. The views from her office feed her. The streets she walks, just as Nathaniel Hawthorne did 170 years ago, cue up for her not merely inspiration but ideas, scenes and themes.
