WISH IT LASTED FOREVER: LIFE WITH THE LARRY BIRD CELTICS
Dan Shaughnessy, the award-winning Boston Globe columnist who has written such best-sellers as “Curse of the Bambino” and “Francona,” joins us to discuss “Wish It Lasted Forever: Life With the Larry Bird Celtics.” Shaughnessy, who enjoyed extraordinary access to the Bird Celtics as the Globe’s beat reporter from 1982 to 1986, recounts wonderful behind-the-scenes tales of the Celtics legend and his teammates, including Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, Bill Walton, Cedric Maxwell and M.L. Carr. He shares personal anecdotes and priceless memories of that fondly recalled era in Celtics history.
The Great Fenway Park Writers Series would like to encourage you to make use of the great local bookstores in your community! For this event, we have partnered with Frugal Bookstore in Roxbury.
