WINTHROP — Joseph A. Dane will give a reading and discuss his book, “Dogfish Memory: Sailing in Search of Old Maine,” at the Bailey Public Library in Winthrop on Tuesday, May 22 at 6:30 p.m., as part of the library’s Lakes Region Forum. Dogfish is a meditative, unconventional memoir, chronicling a lifetime of sailing the Maine coast.
Dane’s family has deep roots in Maine, and he writes of his suspension between different versions of Maine: the place as it may be and the place as it’s perceived by summer people, tourists and fishermen. Dane writes about sailing, weather and the stories of his youth.
