Books and Bites: Author Talk with
Eric Singer

Bring your lunch. We’ll bring the dessert.

Join us for a special edition of Books and Bites with educator and historian Eric Singer, who will discuss his acclaimed new biography, Oppenheimer and the Atomic Bomb.

Although written for younger readers, this compelling version of the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography offers fresh insights for adults—especially those fascinated by science, history and ethics. Singer breathes new life into the complex story of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the brilliant and conflicted mind behind the atomic bomb. Learn how Oppenheimer’s legacy has shaped generations and continues to raise urgent moral questions today.
