On Saturday, March 6, at 6 p.m., Canio’s Cultural Café in Sag Harbor will host a reading by Anthony Brandt from his latest book, “The Man Who Ate His Boots,” published by Knopf, which deals with the enthralling and often harrowing history of the adventurers who searched for the Northwest Passage, the holy grail of 19th century British exploration.
Mr. Brandt is the editor of the Adventure Classics series published by National Geographic Society Press, and the books editor at National Geographic Adventure magazine. His previous works include “Thomas Jefferson Travels: Selected Writings 1784–1789” and “The Tragic History of the Sea: Shipwrecks from the Bible to Titanic.”
This event is free and open to the public.
