On a hot August day, Sheehan arrived at the Santa Fe Institute to meet and photograph Cormac McCarthy, auteur of the Southern Gothic and a figure renowned for avoiding the public eye; the day resulted in what would become the author's portrait for his later novels and, less than one year after they are published, the image used to announce the global news of his passing. Sheehan's book is a recounting of that day, a photo essay (including many pictures published for the first time), an homage to McCarthy and his art, and and a reflection of the author's work to serve as a lens through which Sheehan better sees, understands, and loves his own father. In conversation with proud Brooklynite Burkhard Bilger (Fatherland: A Memoir of War, Conscience, and Family Secrets) Sheehan presents exclusive visuals from the book before a reading and discussion, followed by an audience Q&A and signing. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brooklyn/book-launch-beowulf-sheehan/100001994897924393 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Greenlight Bookstore in Fort Greene - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 27.24, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Brooklyn - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Greenlight Bookstore in Fort Greene - **lat**: 40.6861766 - **long**: -73.9745672 - **full address**: Greenlight Bookstore in Fort Greene, 686 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Book Launch: Beowulf Sheehan - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/e9c75e941293373a03f8f7ba00550a0e10c05253d50b66f30088dabfd83c37af-rimg-w1200-h600-dc040504-gmir.jpg?v=1785054857 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Book Launch: Beowulf Sheehan being held? - **A:** Book Launch: Beowulf Sheehan takes place on Tue, 01 Sep, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Tue, 01 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Greenlight Bookstore in Fort Greene, 686 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Book Launch: Beowulf Sheehan? - **A:** Book Launch: Beowulf Sheehan is organized by Greenlight Bookstore. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
