\n We are pleased to announce tha t award-winning author \;Colum McCann \;will offer the keynote&nbs p\;address at our 24th Annual Dinner on October 28 at the \;Radisson C enter of New Hampshire in Manchester. \;McCann is the author of six&nb sp\;novels and two collections of short stories.

His most recent novel\, \;TransAtlan tic \;was released this summer and has \;already received wid espread praise.
\n
\n &ldquo\;I believe in the democracy of sto ry-telling\,&rdquo\; said \;McCann in an interview. &ldquo\;I love the fact that our \;stories can cross all sorts of borders and boundaries ... I grew up in a house\, in a city\, in a country shaped by \;books. I don&rsquo\;t know of a greater privilege than being \;allowed to te ll a story\, or to listen to a story...&rdquo\;

\n

\n The territory o f McCann&rsquo\;s work is international in scope \;and geography &ndas h\; his topics have ranged from homeless \;people in the subway tunnel s of New York\, to the Troubles \;in Northern Ireland\, to the effects of 9/11\, to a poetic \;examination of the life and culture of the Ro ma in Europe. \;&ldquo\;Literature can remind us that not all life is already written \;down: there are still so many stories to be told\,&r dquo\; said McCann. \;
