DAVE BARRY -- I'LL MATURE WHEN I'M DEAD
The Pearson Foundation and TRACK 16 present
LiveTALKS Los Angeles  

I'LL MATURE WHEN I'M DEAD
An Evening with Dave Barry
in conversation with Jane Smiley

A brilliantly funny exploration of the treacherous state of adulthood by the Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist and author of over 30 books.

Some people may wonder what this subject has to do with DAVE BARRY, since Dave's struggled hard against growing up his entire life-but the result is one of the funniest, warmest, most pitch-perfect books ever on that mystifying territory we call "adulthood".

In hilarious, brand-new pieces, Dave tackles everything from fatherhood, new fatherhood ("Over the next five years, you will spend roughly 45 minutes, total, listening to songs you like, and roughly 127,000 hours to songs exploring topics such as how the horn on the bus goes* [*It goes: 'Beep! Beep! Beep!']"), self-image, the battle of the sexes, celebrityhood, technology, parenting styles, certain unmentionable medical procedures ("There is absolutely no reason to be afraid of a vasectomy, except that: THEY CUT A HOLE IN YOUR SCROTUM."), and much more. It is a book of pure delight from the man one newspaper claimed "could become the most important American humorist since Mark Twain" (South Florida Sun-Sentinel).

JANE SMILEY's new novel is A Private Life.  She is author of numerous novels including A Thousand Acres which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1992, several works of non fiction as well as many essays for such magazines as Vogue, The New Yorker, Practical Horseman, Harper's, the New York Times Magazine, Allure, The Nation and others.  She has written on politics, farming, horse training, child-rearing, literature, impulse buying, getting dressed, Barbie, marriage, and many other topics.  

6:30-7:30pm  Reception
8:00pm   Dave Barry in conversation with Jane Smiley

Tickets: $20-$95 (includes pre-event reception)

Net proceeds from this event will support the wonderful work of 826LA, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6 to 18 with their creative and expository writing skills, and to helping teachers inspire their students to write.  Through it's We Give Books campaign, the Pearson Foundation will also donate five children's books per ticket sold to Los Angeles public schools and 826LA.
