Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tracy Kidder will join the LA Times Book Club on January 26 to talk about his new book, Rough Sleepers. You can watch Kidder’s live virtual conversation with Times columnist Steve Lopez at 6:00 p.m. PT on YouTube (updated link) and Twitter. The discarded and forgotten rough sleepers that Dr. Jim in Boston – not unlike the discarded and forgotten Rough Sleepers of Los Angeles – were plagued by diseases that should not exist in a country with as much money and modern medicine as the United States. In February, Brendan Slocumb will join book club readers to discuss his best-selling book, The Violin Conspiracy, with Times classical music critic Mark Swed.
