ELIZABETH GILBERT
Tuesday, February 20 at 8 p.m.

Also here with a book newly in paper is Elizabeth Gilbert, who was here with the hardcover of her splendid Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia (Penguin) and had everyone wanting her back. Back she is with this unique book that touches on questions and dilemmas faced by so many, and does so with verve. "This is a wonderful book, brilliant and personal, rich in spiritual insight, filled with sorrow and a great sense of humor. Elizabeth Gilbert is everything you would love in a tour guide, of magical places she has traveled to both deep inside and across the oceans: she's wise, jaunty, human, ethereal, hilarious, heartbreaking, and God, does she pay great attention to the things that really matter." - Anne Lamott. Elizabeth Gilbert's one book of stories, Pilgrims, was a PEN/Hemingway Award finalist, and her earlier nonfiction book, The Last American Man, was a finalist for both the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
