AN INVITATION TO NEW YORKERS FROM THREE LIVES & COMPANY

David Ebershoff & Brenda Wineapple in a joint appearance
Thursday, September 25, 2008 7.00 pm


Join us for an evening with friends and fellow Columbia University graduate writing professors, David Ebershoff and Brenda Wineapple, as they read from, discuss, and sign copies of their respective books.


In The 19th Wife, David Ebershoff, author of the novels PASADENA and THE DANISH GIRL, has written two compelling stories threaded together, one the historical novel of a young wife separated from her husband, Brigham Young, the founder of the Mormons, and the second a modern-day gritty murder mystery set within a polygamous Mormon sect.

Brenda Wineapple's White Heat explores one of the most dynamic friendships in American letters, that of Emily Dickinson, the reclusive poet, and Thomas Wentworth Higginson, minister, literary figure and active abolitionist.

The friendship began in 1862,as the Civil War was raging, when Wentworth, a frequent contributor to "The Atlantic Monthly",receives a scrawled letter that includes four poems. Wineapple recreates the extraordinary friendship that developed between the two writers and the publication of Dickinson's masterworks.

Events are first come first served, please arrive early.
