A Madison native and UW graduate, Maraniss is now the Associate Editor at the Washington Post and the winner of multiple awards as both a reporter and an author. He will discuss how individuals have triumphed against the odds and also speak to the importance of literacy in our community.

His latest book discusses the 1960 Olympics in Rome, and his next effort is a biography on Barack Obama which is due in 2011.
