The Great Abraham Lincoln Pocket Watch Conspiracy at the Albany Institute
This could bizarre and fun: The author of The Great Abraham Lincoln Pocket Watch Conspiracy will be at the Albany Institute for a talk October 5.
What is this conspiracy, you ask. Let us turn our attention to the blurbage:
Join Albany historian and writer Giacomo Calabria (pen name, Jacopo della Quercia) for a lively talk about his recently published historical novel that is part sci-fi, part action adventure, and part comedy embedded in a narrative based on meticulous research. The result is an outlandish secret history that aligns perfectly with national as well as the city of Albany historical record.
Calabria is an educator and history writer whose work has been featured on the comedy website Cracked.com, BBC America, CNN Money, and the Huffington Post.
Here's an A.V. Club review of the book. And article in Slate from earlier this year by Calabria: "Abraham Lincoln's Steampunk Presidency."
The talk at the Albany Institute is at 2 pm on Sunday, October 5. It's free with museum admission.
The Albany Institute advertises on AOA.
Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.
