Feb. 25, 2015: Author Richard Morais, a 1981 Sarah Lawrence College alumnus, will return to campus on Friday, February 27, at 4:00 pm in the Donnelley Theatre in the Heimbold Visual Arts Center for a screening of The Hundred-Foot Journey, a film based on his acclaimed novel of the same name.
The screening will be followed by a reception and discussion with Morais and film history faculty member Malcolm Turvey. The event is sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
Richard Morais is an American who was born in Portugal and raised in Switzerland. As a renowned journalist at Forbes magazine for 25 years, he lived in London and was able to travel, live, and write around the world.
His first book, The Hundred-Foot Journey (2010), reflects his global awareness and is both an international and a New York Times best seller, while his newest book, Buddhaland Brooklyn (2013), has also received praise.
The Hundred-Foot Journey was turned into a major motion picture released in 2014 starring Helen Mirren and Om Puri, produced by Juliet Blake, Oprah Winfrey, and Steven Spielberg. The film garnered a Golden Globe nomination for Helen Mirren as well as awards from the Heartland Film Festival and The Norwegian International Film Festival.

Bronxville Public Library
The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.
The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.
The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
