Author Visit with Garth Stein

Join us October 28th at 7 p.m. for a visit with author Garth Stein. He's the author of three novels: The Art of Racing in the Rain; How Evan Broke His Head and Other Secrets, which won a 2006 Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Book Award; and Raven Stole the Moon. He has also written a full-length play, Brother Jones, which received its first production in Los Angeles, in February, 2005, and was described as "brimming with intensity," by the L.A. Weekly.

Born in Los Angeles and raised in Seattle, Garth's ancestry is diverse: his mother, a native of Alaska, is of Tlingit Indian and Irish descent; his father, a Brooklyn native, is the child of Jewish emigrants from Austria. After spending his childhood in Seattle and then living in New York City for 18 years, Garth returned to Seattle, where he currently lives with his family and his dog, Comet.

Garth will read from and sign copies of The Art of Racing in the Rain. Bring your own copy to sign, or purchase one before or after the reading and book discussion. Refreshments will be provided after the event. For more information about this program call 334-3595.
