Rena Pederson Discusses her Fabulous Book on Dallas, King of Diamonds, at Dallas Arts and Letters
Author Rena Pederson, the former Editorial Page Editor of the Dallas Morning News, captivated the audience at Arts and Letters as she discussed her book, King of Diamonds, the best book on the history of Dallas for a 30-year period from the 1950s to the 1970s. Kay Cattarulla, who founded Dallas Arts and Letters Live in 1992 and produced the series for the first 12 years, is seated in the third row next to her husband, one of the original board directors of the Nasher Museum. Candace Rubin is looking to the side in front of them. This was an amazing evening at the Dallas Museum of Art. The evening was quickly sold out and attended by many of the most meaningful people in Dallas. We all came to hear our friend and celebrated author Rena Pederson discuss her new book, King of Diamonds. This is a Dallas thriller about a society jewel thief, maybe the most successful in the country. An added treat was the conversation with one of most highly regarded women in Dallas, Lee Cullum.
Rena and Lee on stage is a reminder that we have in Dallas two woman as Editorial Page Editors of the two Dallas newspapers at the same time, who are both nationally recognized, smart, insightful, and have an incredible sense of humor.
The book is fascinating with a lot of inside history, and the evening was delightful.
