Charlie LeDuff presents: 'Detroit: An American Autopsy'

The one and only Charlie LeDuff will talk about his well-received newest book, Detroit: An American Autopsy, on Saturday, April 6 at 2 p.m. at the Baldwin Public Library in downtown Birmingham.  This is a free program and is open to the public.  

In Detroit: An American Autopsy, Mr. LeDuff shares an unbelievable story of a hard town in a rough time filled with some of the strangest and strongest people our country has to offer.  Detroit is a dark comedy of the absurdity of American life in the twenty-first century, a deeply human drama of colossal greed and endurance, ignorance and courage.

Mr. LeDuff was a staff writer at the New York Times and a reporter at theDetroit News, and is now a television journalist for Detroit’s Fox 2 News. He contributed to a Pulitzer Prize–winning New York Times series and has received a Meyer Berger Award for distinguished writing about New York City.

“This event is part of a series of Detroit-related programs that the Baldwin Library is currently offering,” said Doug Koschik, Library Director.  “We are looking forward to hosting Mr. LeDuff and are grateful that our friends at Book Beat are partnering with us.”

The program is presented with Book Beat Bookstore.  Copies of Mr.LeDuff’s book will be available for sale and signing at the event.
