ROGER HOUSDEN
Saved by Beauty
Tuesday, June 7 at 7 PM
The eloquent account of a Western poet's encounters with the land, culture and people of Iran...soulful and uplifting. — Kirkus Reviews
Join us for an evening with Roger Housden (Chasing Rumi and Ten Poems to Change Your Life), who has written not only a deeply poetic and perceptive appreciation of a culture that has endured for over three thousand years, but also the story of his personal quest to discover if the Iran of his youthful imagination continued to exist, or whether it had been lost forever under a strict totalitarian regime.

Devil's Plaything
Thursday, June 9 at 7 PM
Meet local technology writer and Pulitzer Prize-winner Richtel, who creates amazing fiction around cutting-edge science in his thriller about journalist Nat Idle, who is nearly gunned down in Golden Gate Park and quickly learns it was no random attack. Suddenly, he's running for his life through the shadows of Silicon Valley, and his survival rests entirely in the hands of his 85-year-old grandmother, who's suffering from dementia and can't remember the secret at the heart of the world-changing conspiracy.
...an utterly absorbing read - gripping, exciting, touching and terrifying. — David Liss

ANN PATCHETT
State of Wonder
Tuesday, June 14th at 7 PM
Don't miss the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of Bel Canto and The Magician's Assistant, who will read from her latest novel.
Marina Singh is sent to the darkest corner of the Amazon to confront a rogue scientist on the cusp of developing a fertility drug that could rock the medical profession (and reap enormous profits). Marina's colleague Anders, who has gone to investigate, is reported dead. Marina finds the scientist's camp among the Lakashi, a gentle but enigmatic tribe whose women bear children until the end of their lives.
As Marina settles in, she goes native, losing everything she had held on to so dearly in her prescribed Midwestern life, shedding clothing, technology, old loves, and modern medicine in order to find herself.
