The appointment is for 8pm in Largo Castello.
«We are truly honored and proud that Glenn Cooper and the Nord Publishing House, which has been publishing it in Italy for some time, have chosen Bisceglie and the Libri nel Borgo Antico festival as the only stop in Southern Italy, after the Sicilian preview, of the tour that marks the return of the American writer to our country after six years of absence”, he declares Alessandra Di Pierro, president of the Borgo Antico Association. «Cooper’s presence in Bisceglie constitutes a rare and unmissable opportunity for a direct meeting with the writer for his many and loyal readers, who reward him with each new release by making him climb the sales charts».
Harvard-educated archaeologist, doctor, for years CEO of one of the most important biotechnology industries in Massachusetts, screenwriter, film producer, the seventy-one-year-old Cooper is an extraordinary example of the successful self-made man.
