From the historic Galveston hurricane of 1900 to America’s first modern serial killer, to an intimate look at Winston Churchill during the Blitz, narrative nonfiction writer Erik Larson has a habit of bringing historical events to life in ways that put them atop best-seller lists.

On Thursday, Oct. 20, Larson will be in Greenville to deliver a talk titled “The Art of Being Fearless: What Churchill Can Teach Us about Courage, Leadership and Hope in a Time of Crisis.”
