Charles Baraw of the Nathaniel Hawthorne Society and Ben Wickey, author and illustrator of More Weight, join the Salem Lit Fest for a special conversation at the Trade House. The program features a unique performance of Hawthorne's short story Feathertop, adapted to folksong by local musician Dan Blakeslee and accompanied by a crankie created by Wickey. This returning community highlight continues the tradition of marathon readings that began in 2019.
