Join Spinner Publications’ 2nd author talk in a series of 4 to celebrate their 45th anniversary.
On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, Spinner Publications will host author Carl Hoffman at the Wamsutta Club, 427 County Street, New Bedford, MA, from 6pm to 8:30pm. Carl will talk about his motivations and experiences writing SAVAGE HARVEST: A Tale of Cannibals, Colonialism & Michael Rockefeller’s Tragic Quest for Primitive Art, an in-depth investigation into Rockefeller’s disappearance off Papua New Guinea in 1961. A stranger-than-fiction tale, Hoffman will present the story using slides and a video. This fascinating presentation will include a meet-and-greet with the author in a relaxed cocktail-party ambiance, a Q&A session, hors d’oeuvres, cheese and fruit plates, fresh vegetable crudités, and a cash bar. Copies of Savage Harvest will be available for purchase and signing.
The Wamsutta Club provides ample parking and features 19th-century architecture, including chandeliers, fireplaces, and a welcoming atmosphere. Tickets are $35. Reservations can be made through Eventbrite. Or reserve your tickets by calling the Spinner office at 508-994-4564.
