Erik Larson, a six-time New York Times bestseller who was set to be in Iola Saturday, has postponed his appearance until 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 28.
Tickets for Larson’s show — part of the Bowlus Speaker Series — sell for $17 for adults and $10 for students, and are available at bowluscenter.org.
Larson is a journalist who pens mostly nonfiction books.
“The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz” examines how Winston Churchill and his “Secret Circle” went about surviving the German air campaign of 1940-41. That and “Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania,” both hit no. 1 on the bestseller list soon after launch.
Several of his works are under development for film and television series considerations.
Larson’s appearance is sponsored by the Sleeper and Clopton family trusts.
This is the second straight year a prominent author has postponed a Bowlus show in October. Garrison Keillor had been slated to appear here on Oct. 15, 2022, but that show was pushed back to the following February because of illness.
