KELLI STANLEY
City of Sharks
Thursday, April 5 at 7 PM

The blonde secretary was scared when she visited Miranda Corbie's office. A shove into a streetcar track, a box of poisoned chocolates...hateful, violent letters. Someone was trying to kill her.

Meet award-winning crime fiction author Kelli Stanley, who will read from her new book, City of Sharks, a rich, authentic portrait of 1940 San Francisco featuring her characteristic lyrical prose and insightful eye for character.

MICHAEL FINKEL
The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordnary Story of the Last True Hermit
Monday, April 9 at 7 PM

Journalist Michael Finkel shares a fascinating true story that many people dream of: escaping modern life. While most will never act on it, 28-year-old Christopher Knight did, in 1986, when he left his home in Massachusetts, drove to Maine, and disappeared into the woods. He would not have a conversation with another person for the next 27 years. Finkel draws on extensive interviews with Knight himself, and shows how Knight lived in a tent, found ingenious ways to store provisions and stave off frostbite during the winters.
