(spinningjenny) Distinguished Visiting Writers Series Modesto Bee Book Club hosts Jane Smiley Jane Smiley reads & signs Jane Smiley reads from Ten days in the hills. Jane Smiley Reads & Signs on Wed., 23 April at 7 PM In the aftermath of the 2003 Academy Awards, Max and Elena -- he's an Oscar-winning writer/director -- open their Hollywood Hills home to a group of friends and neighbors, industry insiders and hangers-on, eager to escape the outside world and dissect the latest news, gossip, and secrets of the business. Over the next ten days, old lovers collide, new relationships form, and sparks fly, all with Smiley's signature sparkling wit and characterization.
With its breathtaking passion and sexy irreverence, Ten Days in the Hills is a glowing addition to the work of one of our most beloved novelists. If you've loved Smiley's earlier books -- the Pulitzer Prize-winning A Thousand Acres or Moo! -- you have to read Ten Days in the Hills.
Both Julie and I think that Ten Days in the Hills is great fun -- witty, smart, and a great book for discussion. It is our great honor to invite you to a rare Bay Area event: an evening's reading and signing with Jane Smiley on Wednesday, 23 April 2008 at 7 PM. Tickets are $5.25 and advance purchase is strongly suggested as tickets will sell out early. Ticket proceeds will benefit the general circulating collection of the Danville Library. It is our tradition here at Rakestraw Books to produce fine limited edition broadsides to commemorate the visits of Pulitzer Prize-winners. The broadside for this evening -- showcasing a quotation from Ten Days in the Hills -- will be designed and printed by a fine letterpress printer. Please make plans to join us for this special evening. For more information, or to order a signed copy of Ten Days in the Hills, please call us at (925) 837-7337.
