Join Professor and 2024 Colorado Book Award finalist Annie Dawid at Rawlings Branch Library as she reads from and discusses her historical fiction book, Paradise Undone: A Novel of Jonestown and answers questions from the audience.
Paradise Undone, A Novel of Jonestown is a part real, part imagined retelling of the tragic events that led to the biggest single loss of civilian life in the U.S. in the 20th century. On November 18, 1978, 909 people died in the Guyanese jungle. Published on the 45th anniversary of this tragic day, Annie Dawid’s compelling story of Jonestown explores the tragedy through the voices of four protagonists—Marceline Baldwin Jones and three other members of the Peoples Temple.
This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided.
Thank you to our partner Pueblo City-County Library District.
