hand holding a paw paw fruitAuthor Chat with Andrew Moore

Thursday, November 13, 7 p.m.

The largest edible fruit native to the United States tastes like a cross between a banana and a mango. It grows wild in 26 states, gracing eastern forests each fall with sweet-smelling, tropical-flavored abundance. So why have so few people heard of the pawpaw, much less tasted one? Andrew Moore, author of Pawpaw: America’s Forgotten Fruit, will explore the past, present, and future of this remarkable species on Thursday, November 13, at the library at 7 p.m. The talk is free and no registration is required.

Moore was a news editor and feature writer for Pop City, a weekly news e-magazine, and his stories have been published in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, The Daily Yonder, and the Biscayne Times. Pawpaw: In Search of America’s Forgotten Fruit was a finalist in the Literary Writing category of the James Beard Foundation Awards. Moore’s next book, The Beasts of the East: The Fall and Rise of America’s Eastern Wilderness, will be published by Mariner Books next summer.
