The JHU Author Chats committee invites you to a discussion with Tim Wendel, author of the new novel Escape from Castro’s Cuba, a sequel to Castro’s Curveball, which Wendel wrote as a graduate student in the JHU Writing Program. Wendel is currently a writer-in-residence at Johns Hopkins, where he teaches fiction and nonfiction writing. He has published 14 books, and his work has appeared in The New York Times, National Geographic, and Psychology Today, among other publications.

Of Escape from Castro’s Cuba, bestselling author Jane Leavy writes, “It is an exquisite portrait of an aging baseball man of conscience and character who refuses to quit on the people and game he loves.”

A not-to-be-missed evening for everyone interested in book writing, researching, and a successful writing career.
