Jeffrey Zaslow, Sanjay Gupta to Appear At MJCCA

CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta and the Wall Street Journal’s Jeffrey Zaslow are coming to the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta.
As part of the MJCCA’s continuing Page from the Book Festival events, Zaslow will be talking on Jan. 26 at 7:30 p.m. about his newest book, The Magic Room: A Story about the Love We Wish for our Daughters.

Gupta will be speaking at the MJCCA in March about his new novel Monday Mornings.

The Magic Room is a nonfiction narrative set in a small-town Michigan bridal shop, and looks at the lives of a handful of brides (and their parents) who've journeyed to the store's ‘Magic Room,’ according to the MJCCA.

Zaslow is a columnist at the Wall Street Journal and the co-author of the bestseller The Last Lecture, which he co-wrote with Randy Pausch.

He also collaborated with Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband on their book GABBY: A Story of Courage and Hope, and coauthored the book Highest Duty, the memoir of Capt. "Sully" Sullenberger, the pilot who landed a plane on the Hudson.

It will be Zaslow’s third appearance at the community center.

Tickets are $16 for non-members and $11 for members and are available on-line at atlantajcc.org or through the MJCCA Box Office at 678.812.4005.

His talk will be part of a special "Upfront & Unscripted" program featuring CNN Senior Medical Correspondent Elizabeth Cohen, the MJCCA said in a press release.
