Danielle Trussoni received good attention for her 2006 memoir, Falling Through the Earth, including citation by the New York Times for being one of the ten best books of the year. She goes a whole other direction for her first novel, the radiantly absorbing Angelology (Viking). "A covert age-old war between angels and humans serves as the backdrop for Trussoni's gripping tale of supernatural thrills and divine destinies ... Trussoni anchors this fanciful dark fantasy to a solid foundation built from Catholic church history, biblical exegesis, and apocryphal texts. Suspenseful intrigues and apocalyptic battle scenes give this complexly plotted tale a vigor and vitality all the more exciting for its intelligence." - Publishers Weekly.
Start: 7:30 pm
Most known as the co-star and executive producer for the longtime HBO hit, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Jeff Garlin has also made the rounds as a stand-up comedian (a Second City alum, so it might be second nature), and as a film director (I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With). His book debut, My Footprint: Carrying the Weight of the World (Simon and Schuster), is both a laughing matter—and not. It is an account of his working to lighten both his carbon footprint—and the weight of his very own footprint. Less consumption—the attempts—are in there somewhere. It is good, it is edifying, and some points are made. This should be fun. $5 tickets are available at Elliott Bay or via www.brownpapertickets.com (and 1-800-838-3006) beginning February 24th. Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca). For more information on this evening, please call Elliott Bay at (206) 624-6600.
