Head from the lifts to one of the nation's best literary lounges and indulge in "Après Ski for the Mind" as the Aspen Writers' Foundation presents the 13th annual Winter Words series of author readings and talks.

In partnership with AYPA, the AWF is proud to offer a rare opportunity to raise a glass and mingle with one of the world's most celebrated scholars: Jared Diamond. Diamond’s most renowned book, Guns, Germs, and Steel, won the Pulitzer Prize, has been translated into 25 languages, and was the subject of a National Geographic documentary that aired on PBS. A professor of Geography and Physiology at the University of California, Mr. Diamond is equally renowned for his work in the fields of ecology and physiology. His other titles include Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Survive, The Third Chimpanzee, and Why is Sex Fun? The Evolution of Human Sexuality. This is your opportunity as an AYPA member to participate in the Aspen Writers’ Foundation exclusive Author Salon, traditionally reserved for AWF members only. Doors open at 5:00pm, with a reading and talk by Mr. Diamond to begin at 5.30pm, followed by a book signing and the Author Salon at 6:30pm at the Wheeler Opera House.
