Eric Schlosser will speak at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 2, in the Recreational Eagle Center.
Schlosser began working as a correspondent for the Atlantic Monthly in 1996. After graduating from Princeton with a degree in American history, he tried several professions (playwright, novelist, script writer) before turning to non-fiction in his early 30s.

It appeared on the bestseller lists of the Los Angeles Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Boston Globe, the Washington Post, USA Today, Business Week, and Publishers Weekly, as well as on bestseller lists in Canada, Great Britain and Japan.
