Off the Page: Annabelle Tometich

Join journalist and memoirist Annabelle Tometich for an afternoon of engaging conversation about her acclaimed debut, “The Mango Tree: A Memoir of Fruit, Florida, and Felony.” Named a best book of 2024 by The Washington Post and NPR, Tometich’s memoir offers a witty and poignant look at family, identity and growing up in Florida. A former food critic for The News-Press in Fort Myers, Tometich became the first Asian American author to win the Southern Book Prize for nonfiction.
