ANNE ENRIGHT
Tuesday, February 19 at 7 p.m. at Microsoft Auditorium, Seattle Public Central Library, 1000 Fourth Avenue

Co-presented with the WASHINGTON CENTER FOR THE BOOK AT THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. We are delighted to help present this evening with Irish writer Anne Enright, recipient of this past year's MAN Booker Prize—one of the most prestigious literary prizes in the world—who is here with her award-winning novel, The Gathering (Black Cat/Grove). "Entrancing, unflinching, and insightful, The Gathering is a haunting look at a broken family stifled by generations of hurt and disappointment, struggling to make peace with the irreparable." – Entertainment Weekly. "Enright has written a wonderfully elegant and unsparing novel that takes the old Irish subjects of family dysfunction and the vagaries of memory into territory made fresh by an objectivity so precise it seems almost loving ... stunning control and flawless eye." – Los Angeles Times. Ms. Enright is also the author of four previous books of fiction—The Portable Virgin, The Wig My Father Wore, What Are You Like?, The Pleasure of Eliza Lynch—and a nonfiction work, Making Babies. Free admission is on a first-come, first-serve basis (no tickets). The Seattle Public Central Library is located at 1000 Fourth Avenue (between Madison and Spring). Special $5 parking coupons for the Central Library garage during the reading are available on a limited basis. For more information, please see www.spl.org, or call (206) 386-4650 or (206) 624-6600.
