Sunday, September 8th, 4-6pm at the Plainville Senior Center, 9 School Street, Plainville, MA..
The Book – The Curse: Big-Time Gambling’s Seduction of a Small New England Town (Levellers Press). The Curse is a novel set against the explosion of casino gambling that hit Connecticut during the 1990s, when two Indian tribes built the world’s two biggest casinos in the southeastern corner of the state. WBZ’s Dan Rea calls the novel “powerful” and Connecticut author Martin Shapiro has described it as “compelling and timely…an epic story of history, money and politics that will make you wonder where America is headed.”
