Meet Juan Gabriel Vásquez at Marino/Booth Open House

This year’s Marino Family International Writers’ Academic Workshop author, Juan Gabriel Vásquez, will be the guest of honor at a reception, open house, and book signing in Lauinger Library on Tuesday, August 23, from 1–3 p.m.

All Georgetown students, staff, and faculty are invited to attend the event, which will be held on the fifth floor of the Library in the Murray Room and the Booth Family Center for Special Collections. Vásquez will sign personal copies of books brought by attendees. (Note that books will not be available for sale.) Light refreshments will also be available.

Adjoining the Murray Room and its spectacular views of the Potomac, the Booth Family Center will have a pop-up exhibit of art, rare books, and University artifacts. Booth curators will be on hand to discuss the significance of these materials, answer your questions, and give you an insider’s glimpse of rarely seen treasures.
