Free and open to the public. Space is limited, so come early to grab a seat! Drinks available at Garden Bar and food by KURED! Join us for the next installment of our ongoing Harvard Author Series, featuring acclaimed writer Jane Merrill. Taking place outdoors at One Reason Garden Bar, this evening event will explore the vibrant, pre-digital world of freelance writing through the lens of Jane’s numerous books! Jane is the author or co-author of over a dozen books covering everything from fashion history and political exile to hidden chapters of American life. She’ll share brief readings and behind-the-scenes insights from several of her titles, including: Sex and the Scientist: The Indecent Life of Benjamin Thompson, Count RumfordThe Late Years of Benedict Arnold: Fugitive, Smuggler, Mercenary, 1780–1801Aaron Burr in Exile: A Pariah in Paris, 1810–1811Additional favorites she may reference include The Showgirl Costume: An Illustrated History, I Love Those Earrings: A Popular History from Ancient to Modern, The Hidden History of Cambridge and Harvard, and her upcoming 2025 release The Turban: A History from East to West. Expect stories that weave together personalities, cultures, and eras—ranging from wedding night rituals to beaded adornments, from public scandals to long-forgotten exiles. A few fun facts: Jane was the first woman to publish a fictional story in Penthouse magazine (a copy reportedly lost in her boathouse) and once received a tongue-in-cheek  Pulitzer  from her friend Gay Talese.
