Drawing on logbooks, diaries, court-martial testimony, and government records, David Grann mounts a chilling, vibrant narrative about a maritime scandal—the true saga of a company of British naval officers and crew who in 1742 were stranded on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia and descended into murderous anarchy.

Award-winning writer at The New Yorker, Grann is also the author of The Lost City of Z and Killers of the Flower Moon, which has been adapted into an upcoming major motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Jesse Plemons.

Reception at 3:30. Event at 4pm.
