Join us for a book talk and author presentation about the Brooklyn Bridge, in honor of the 150th anniversary. Photographer and author Barbara G. Mensch will discuss her new book “In the Shadow of Genius,” a photographer’s quest to understand the brilliant minds and remarkable lives of those who built the Brooklyn Bridge. She combines striking photographs with a powerful first-person narrative to cast a unique light on the concept of genius, tracing her own curious path to understanding the genius of John, Washington, and Emily Roebling. A Q&A and book signing will follow the presentation.
