WEDNESDAY
LECTURE
WHAT: Michael Palin
wish I could go...
WHEN: Wed 4.2 (7pm)
WHERE: Barnes & Noble (33 E 17th St, 212.253.0810)
PRICE: FREE
To quote his own words, Michael Palin has gone from being "a
very silly person to being a very silly explorer." To his comedic
credit, he has scored kudos for Monty Python's Flying Circus and
his roles in films like Time Bandits and A Fish Called Wanda (who
can forget K..kk..ken). Now Palin is enjoying a second career as a
world traveler. His first journey back in 1988, Around the World in
80 Days, became a BBC TV series and a book. He has since gone
Pole-to-Pole, Full Circle, on a Hemingway Adventure, and, most recently,
to the Sahara. Tonight, Palin discusses what he encountered in this
beautiful yet deadly desert that is equal in size to the United States.
Given the character of the subject and the man, this should be an
interesting evening. (MB)
