Books Reading Tonight
Posted by Paul Constant on Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 10:31 AM
Four events tonight.
Third Place Books hosts O. Alan Weltzien, who has written about his father and life on an island. His book is titled A Father and an Island.
Shilpa Agarwal reads at Elliott Bay Book company. Haunting Bombay is a novel about a ghost of a drowned child. You can read more about it here, but be warned: It's a publisher's website and so it's going to be overly generous. What's more, the words "richly evocative tale" are used. Those are three awful words to use in a row like that.
Over at T.S. McHugh's, Gary Lagerloef speaks at a session of Science on Tap. The tentative title for today's lecture is "Satellite Data Can Tell Us About Climate Change." I hope they've come up with something catchier, but I bet it won't describe the subject nearly as well as the tentative title.
And at Town Hall, super-intelligent environmentalist David Suzuki talks about sprawl, food, and his most recent book, The Big Picture. This is obviously the reading of the night.
The full readings calendar, including the next week or so, is here.
