SUMMARY:Author Talk: Jeffrey Dale Lofton
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of PRIDE month\n\nJoin us for a conversation 
 between author Jeffrey Dale Lofton\, Library Director Diane Kresh\, and 
 Communications Manager Anneliesa Alprin about Lofton's novel "Red Clay 
 Suzie."\n\nJeffrey Dale Lofton hails from Warm Springs\, Georgia\, best 
 known for Roosevelt’s Little White House. He calls the nation’s capital 
 home now and has for three decades. During those early years\, he spent 
 many a night trodding the boards of DC’s theaters and performing arts 
 centers. He even scored a few television appearances\, including a 
 residuals-rich Super Bowl halftime commercial\, which his accountant 
 wisecracked “is the finest work of your career.” Ultimately he stepped 
 away from acting and landed at the Library of Congress where he helped war 
 veterans tell their stories\, their accounts then housed in the library’s 
 permanent collection. At the same time\, he pursued post-graduate work\, 
 being awarded Master’s degrees in both Public Administration and Library 
 and Information Science. Today\, he is senior advisor at the Library of 
 Congress\, surrounded by books and people who love books—in short\, 
 paradise. \n\n"Red Clay Suzie" is his first full-length work of fiction\, 
 and it was named a Lambda Literary Most Anticipated LGBTQIA  Book and 
 awarded the Seven Hills Literary Prize for Fiction. His greatest wish is 
 for a copy of "Red Clay Suzie" to be in every public library so that fellow 
 "fringies" who cannot afford a copy can still read or listen to 
 it.\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP for an event reminder. Attendance is first-come\, 
 first-served until seating capacity is reached.\n\nFor more information\,

 support Educational Theatre Company.  \n\nThis event supports Arlington 
 Public Library's recognition of National Pride Month. \n\nFind Your Voice
