# Event Details - **Event Name**: Edmonds Author & Speaker Series presents author & cartoonist David Horsey - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 28 May, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Thu, 28 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: Join us Thursday, May 28 for a conversation with David Horsey: political cartoonist, columnist and authorAbout this EventIn Pulitzer Prize-winner David Horsey's acclaimed new novel, "Beach of Stars," a college kid working a summer job in Mexico takes a beer to a young woman on a secluded beach; a simple, whimsical act that sets off a chain of events which, twenty years later, lures the man from his career in city politics into a search for the now-fugitive woman — a journey of unexpected revelations stretching from New York City to a remote Mexican beach town where he faces a star-crossed reckoning with the past.Horsey will be talking about both his new novel, as well as his career as a political cartoonist and columnist, and how the two very different forms of artistic expression come from the same wellspring of imagination, one he seems to have been born with.Special thanks to our program partners My Edmonds News & Edmonds Bookshop!About the Author: David Horsey is a two-time recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning.
