Collins will appear from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 10, in the Penguin Student Lounge, located in Clark’s Penguin Union Building. The event is free and open to the public. As a writer, Collins specializes in science history, memoir, and unusual antiquarian literature. His six books have been translated into 10 languages. They include The Book of William: How Shakespeare's First Folio Conquered the World (2009), The Trouble with Tom: The Strange Afterlife and Times of Thomas Paine (2005), Not Even Wrong: A Father's Journey Into the Lost History of Autism (2004), Sixpence House: Lost in a Town of Books (2003), and Banvard’s Folly: Tales of Renowned Obscurity, Famous Anonymity and Rotten Luck (2002).
