EVOLUTION
OF A WRITER
David
Wroblewski
The
Story of Edgar Sawtelle
Few debut novelists
enjoy the kind of prepublication publicity and glowing reviews as David
Wroblewski has received. Wroblewski’s riveting saga of an
American family captures the deep and ancient alliance between humans
and dogs, and the power of fate through one boy's epic journey into the
wild. Richard Russo said, “David Wroblewski’s got
storytelling talent to burn and a big, generous heart to go with
it.” Please join us as Mr. Wroblewski reads from his
remarkable novel and discusses his writing process.

front of large gatherings of
the faithful. Dan

Cactus Eaters is a hilarious and
harrowing account of a young couple's
hike along the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail. Carrella and

Erich
Origen and Gan Golan
Goodnight
Bush: An Unauthorized Parody
Erich
Origen and Gan Golan’s Goodnight Bush is a publishing
sensation. Sent
to a publisher on spec, it quickly hit the bestseller lists. Goodnight
Bush is a parody of the children’s classic Goodnight Moon and
is a
hilarious and poignant visual requiem for the Bush administration. In
it we see a childlike George W. Bush tucked safely away in the confines
of his own room and a quiet Dick Cheney whispering "hush.”
Come hear
the authors and register to vote so you can say Goodnight Bush!

Belonging:
New Poetry by Iranians Around the World
Stacey’s and
the Asia Society are delighted to host Niloufar Talebi, Founder and
Creative/Executive Director of The Translation Project and editor of
Belonging: New Poetry by Iranians Around the World. Recent political
developments, including the shadow of a new war, have obscured the fact
that Iran has a long and splendid artistic tradition ranging from the
visual arts to literature. Talebi has collected a selection of eclectic
and vibrant poems that deepen the often limited awareness of Iranian
identity today.
