It was a packed house Saturday night to hear Scott Berg read from Grand Avenues at Politics and Prose. Introduced by store co-owner, the inestimable Barbara Meade, Berg spoke about the rise and fall of the brilliant but troubled Pierre L'Enfant.
As readers of this blog know, Scott is a member of our writing group and we're all thrilled about this book's release. As a group, we threw a release party last week which included a surprise visit from L'Enfant from beyond the grave (see next page for photos). The party was a blast, with over 75 guests including friends, Mason faculty, editors and some of our favorite local writers— C.M Mayo, Mary Kay Zuravleff, Leslie Pietrzyk, Steve Goodwin, Jamy Bond—at our home. Photos on the next page (click for the big picture).
Here's a few pictures from Saturday's reading:
