Public Library (CPL) welcomes Pulitzer Prize-winning author
Connie Schultz as part of their Brown Bag Book Club
Series on Thursday, Dec. 13, 2012 at noon in the Louis
Stokes Wing of Main Library, located at East 6th and
Superior Avenue.
“We are
thrilled to welcome Ms. Schultz to CPL,” says Felton Thomas,
Director of CPL. “Her thought-provoking columns and gift for
insightful writing has inspired Clevelanders for many years, and
her columns, books, and commentary on social media are now
nationally recognized."
Most
widely known locally as a columnist for The Plain Dealer,
Ms. Schultz was a 2003 Pulitzer Prize finalist in feature
writing for her series, “The Burden of Innocence,” which
chronicled the ordeal of Michael Green, who was imprisoned for
13 years for a rape he did not commit. She then went on to win
the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary for columns that judges
praised as providing “a voice for the underdog and the
underprivileged.” Also in 2005, Schultz won the Scripps Howard
National Journalism Award for Commentary and the National
Headliner Award for Commentary.
Ms.
Schultz will lead a discussion about her 2007 memoir …and His
Lovely Wife, which chronicles her experience during her
husband Sherrod Brown’s successful 2006 race for the U.S.
Senate. Her newspaper column is nationally syndicated by
Creators Syndicate, and she is a regular essayist for Parade
Magazine.
The book
discussion will take place on the 5th Floor of the
Louis Stokes Wing of Main Library, located at East 6th
and Superior Avenue, Cleveland.
