Maplewood-based Dan Barry — Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times journalist and award-winning book author — is adding another feather to his crowded cap.
On Monday, October 16, the Irish American Writers & Artists will bestow the Eugene O’Neill Lifetime Achievement Award on Barry at an event in New York City. Writer Colum McCann and other luminaries will be on hand to honor Barry.
