Glimpses Author Talk with Matt Williams

Thursday, Apr 25, 2024 from 6:00pm to 7:00pm
Desmond-Fish Library
472 Route 403

Join author and acclaimed comedy writer Matt Williams in conversation about his new book Glimpses: A Comedy Writer’s Take on Life, Love, and All That Spiritual Stuff.

About the Book:
As the creator of hit shows like Roseanne and Home Improvement, Matt never focused on red carpets and glitzy parties during his lengthy and successful career in the entertainment industry. Rather, he says, what sustained him, guided him, and inspired him were divine glimpses of goodness and grace. A collection of personal essays, Glimpses: A Comedy Writer’s Take on Life, Love, and All That Spiritual Stuff, showcases those moments from his private life and career, and encourages readers to search them out in their own lives, because, as Matt says, once "I started consciously looking for God’s goodness…I found it everywhere."
