Bookseller Ben Koenig discusses his research into the life and work of Vermont author Dorothy Canfield Fisher & the controversy around the book prize formerly in her name. His extensive research raises important questions about how we make judgments today, about the information can we rely on, and about how to navigate the complexities of judging a person’s entire life. Sunday, June 11, 3 p.m. at the Old Labor Hall, 46 Granite St., Barre. Part of the Barre Historical Society’s Thomas C. Davis Public Issues Series. Free.
