Dr. James FitzGerald will read from his memoir "Reflections from the Eye Sage: an Ophthamologist becomes an award-winning columnist." For the past few years Dr. FitzGerald has written feature articles for "The Paper," a newspaper focusing on western New England issues and events. Selected columns have been grouped together to create this new publication. Dr. FitzGerald's varied and exciting career is conveyed through humorous, thoughtful, and always insightful vignettes. One reader writes, “Jim brings his own twists and humor into,actually, informative narrative. Some fun and information, his newspaper articles translate into a fun read with excellent accompanying illustrations and photos. Nice job Jim.”
Original illustrations, created by artist Paul Gower for the book, will be on view during the event. This reading and attending art exhibit is free and open to the public. |
