RICHARD BAUSCH
Wednesday, June 11 at 7:30 p.m.

We are pleased to welcome back—after too long an absence from Elliott Bay—Richard Bausch, long one of this country's most accomplished novelists and short-story writers. His new, World War II-set novel, Peace (Knopf), has been garnering high praise. "An abrupt and chilling act of violence opens Bausch's 11th novel, marking the beginning of a compelling meditation of the moral dimensions of warfare." - Publishers Weekly "Richard Bausch's Peace, set at the end of the Second World War in Italy, is a small masterpiece with the same emotional force and moral complexity as Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Tolstoy's Hadji Murad." - Colm Tóibín.
