Author Reading | Alex Storozynski reads from his book The Peasant Prince


Thaddeus Kosciuszko, a Polish-Lithuanian born in 1746, was one of the most important figures of the modern world. Fleeing his homeland after a death sentence was placed on his head (when he dared court a woman above his station), he came to America one month after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, literally showing up on Benjamin Franklin’s doorstep in Philadelphia with little more than a revolutionary spirit and a genius for engineering.

Nathaniel Rich's debut, The Mayor’s Tongue, follows a young man and an old man. The young man is a devotee of a reclusive author and adventurer; the old man longs to confide in a dear friend who has disappeared.
