We are honored that our 2023 One Book One Town (OBOT) title was written by a resident of Fairfield. This year’s OBOT selection is I Keep Trying to Catch His Eye by Ivan Maisel.  It is an honest and emotionally deep memoir in which Ivan reflects on the loss of his dear son Max to suicide, the impact of  grief on family and community, and the painful journey which brings Ivan to a place of seeing grief as an expression of love. 

We are so fortunate to have Ivan and his wife Meg Murray with us for the podcast to focus on their journey as individuals, as a couple and as parents to their three children including Max. Please join us for a very special edition of Fairfield, What Are You Reading.

Podcast host: Philip Bahr, Head of Adult Services
OBOT Co-chair: Mary Coe, Branch Reference Librarian,
Guests: Ivan Maisel, author, and his wife Meg Murray

Thanks to our podcast editor Max Berryman for making us sound great!
