Program Description

Event Details

In 1742, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder by David Grann is a grand tale of human behavior at the extremes told by one of our greatest nonfiction writers.
