We are delighted to welcome author Dennis Minsky to the Spring Reading Series. A long-time resident of Provincetown after hitchhiking there in 1968, Minsky has worked as a wildlife biologist at the Cape Cod National Seashore, as a guide with Art’s Dune Tours, and, since 1995, as a naturalist with the Dolphin Fleet Whale Watch.
Since 2019, Minsky has chronicled the town, its people, history, and natural history in a column, “The Year-Rounder,” published in the Provincetown Independent. His book, Peculiar and Superior is a collection of these essays.
According to author Philip Hoare, “Whales, birds, artists, plumbers, dogs, buildings, everyday frustrations, quiet successes: Minsky’s real-time cast and setting create a revealing mosaic of what it is like to live in the 21st century with all its joys and pressures, its forebodings and its ecstasies, and he does it with enviable empathy and a great deal of wry humour.”
Dennis will read selections from the book along with new work and discuss how he came to write it, with a focus on the natural and human history of the Outer Cape.
With thanks to innkeepers Marirose and Bernie Lynch, we will be gathering at their charming Inn at the Oaks in Eastham -space is limited so be sure to get your tickets today!
