2024 Dinner Speaker

Only a few days after Hampton Sides’s newest book arrived in stores, the New York Times bestselling author was featured in conversation with poet and TV host Hakim Bellamy at the sixth annual New Mexico Writers Dinner on April 25, 2024.

The Wide Wide Sea: Imperial Ambition, First Contact and the Fateful Final Voyage of Captain James Cook is an epic account of a momentous voyage of the Age of Exploration, which culminated in Captain James Cook’s death in Hawaii, and left a complex and controversial legacy still debated to this day. Cook’s last journey in 1776 both wrestles with Cook’s legacy and provides a thrilling narrative of the titanic efforts and continual danger that characterized exploration in the eighteenth century. At once a ferociously paced story of adventure on the high seas and a searching examination of the complexities and consequences of the Age of Exploration, The Wide Wide Sea is already one of the most anticipated books of 2024.
