Let’s Talk About It’s new discussion series analyzes ‘Burr’ Event Location: Event has passed On Tuesday, Feb. 9, the Let’s Talk About It Book Club, from Thomaston Public Library, will meet, at 2 p.m., over Zoom, to begin a new discussion series of historical novels based on characters that have helped shape our culture! The first book will be Burr by Gore Vidal. Published decades before Hamilton took the world by storm, Burr is the first book in Gore Vidal’s Narratives of Empire series, focusing on Aaron Burr’s life in the years after that fateful night in Weehawken. An aging but newly married statesman who is widely considered to be public enemy number one, he enlists the services of a young New York journalist named Charles Schermerhorn Schuyler to tell his story, and as they dive deep into Burr’s past, they also discover hard-learned truths about revolution, patriotism, and the future of their beloved nation.
