John Grogan struck paper gold with his man-and-his-dog memoir Marley & Me, which spawned a hit movie and more merchandise than would seem tasteful given the dog’s passing (do kids reading Marley-brand children’s books know they’re about a ghost hound?) Sticking with what works, Grogan’s latest book is another memoir, The Longest Trip Home, which charts the author’s Catholic upbringing in the ’60s and ’70s, and the relationship that transformed him from a mischievous kid to better-rounded adult. The event is free, but will require a ticket. For ticket information, call (262) 241-6220.
