Join Us for Dinner and
Presentation by author Sebastian Junger
Herman T. Epstein Endowed Memorial Lectureship
The Falmouth Forum has kindly invitted our members to join them for a presentation by author Sebastian Junger.
Lecture Abstract: Four years ago, Sebastian Junger faced death when he suffered from a sudden abdominal hemorrhage. In what could have been his final moments, he experienced a vision of his deceased father—a physicist and fellow atheist—appearing to him in the trauma bay. This profound and unexpected encounter challenged Junger's understanding of death. In In My Time of Dying, he embarks on a deeply personal journey to unravel the meaning of this life-altering event.
Sebastian Junger is the #1 New York Times Bestselling author of The Perfect Storm, Fire, A Death in Belmont, War, Tribe, Freedom, and In My Time of Dying. As an award-winning journalist, a contributing editor to Vanity Fair, and a special correspondent at ABC News, he has covered major international news stories worldwide. He has received both a National Magazine Award and a Peabody Award. Junger is also a documentary filmmaker whose debut film Restrepo, a feature-length documentary (co-directed with Tim Hetherington), was nominated for an Academy Award and won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance. A book signing will follow the presentation.
