Event Details

From the author of Buffett Backstories: 50 years, 50 songs comes an all new Buffett Backstories: Pirate Edition. You might recall a certain Key West local and Chart Room bartender named Phil Clark who was immortalized in song by Jimmy Buffett. But "A Pirate Looks at Forty" belies Clark's privileged past. Following exhaustive research by author Scott Atwell, stories of Clark’s life emerge in fascinating detail about a New York sophisticate who sailed off to the lower latitudes of the globe, where pirates once roamed, and reinvented himself on an island. Not in a good way, but a memorable one. If we looked closely enough, scattered clues would have led us to the story's conclusion, like an "x" on the map. This is the true tale of the Pirate, Phillips Clark.


Join Atwell on Sunday, August 31 from 11 am to 1 pm at Books & Books (Judy Blume's famed book store) where you can pick up a copy or two and get it autographed on the spot.
