LEWISTON — Former Congressman Barney Frank, D-MA, will be the featured speaker at Lewiston Public Library’s Sunday Author Series at 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 25, in Callahan Hall.

Frank will talk about his recently published autobiography, “Frank: a Life in Politics from The Great Society to Same-Sex Marriage.” His story is one man’s account of the country’s transformation and the tale of a truly momentous career.

Many Americans recall Frank’s lacerating wit, whether it was directed at President Bill Clinton’s impeachment or the pro-life movement. But the contours of his private and public lives are less well-known.

For more than four decades, he was at the center of the struggle for personal freedom and economic fairness. From the battle over AIDS funding in the 1980s to the debates over “big government” during the Clinton years to the 2008 financial crisis, Frank played a key role. In 2010, he co-authored the most far-reaching and controversial Wall Street reform bill since the era of the Great Depression and helped bring about the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.

Copies of Frank’s autobiography will be available for sale at the event and a book signing will follow the talk.

This free, public program is co-sponsored by the Friends of LPL.
