There will be a 15 minute break for wine and cheese around 8:30 p.m., followed by a more wide-ranging informal chat about Pendergrast’s other books, the process of research, writing, and getting published, the uncertain future of the book, etc. Limit of 30 people. Advanced ticket reservations suggested through the Living Room website. This will be the first of a series of such literary evenings on alternate Tuesday nights, hosted by Pendergrast.
