YANN MARTEL at Seattle Public Central Library |
Co-presented with the WASHINGTON CENTER FOR THE BOOK AT THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY and the CANADIAN STUDIES CENTRE, JACKSON SCHOOL OF INTERNATIONAL STUDIES, UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. Nine years after captivating readers everywhere with his Man Booker Prize-winning novel, Life of Pi, Spanish-born Canadian author Yann Martel visits with a much-anticipated new novel, Beatrice and Virgil (Spiegel and Grau). As with its predecessor, Yann Martel takes what seems like a fragment, a slice of incident, and makes it into a story that opens wider and deeper than one might expect. No one is at sea here, but the surprises that unfold with the opening of an envelope, a story told of a 'Beatrice' and 'Virgil,' should win readers as Life of Pi has. Free admission is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Special $5 parking coupons for the Central Library garage are available on a limited basis for those attending. Seattle Public Central Library is at 1000 Fourth Avenue (between Madison & Spring). For more information on this evening, please call Elliott Bay at (206) 624-6600, The Seattle Public Library at (206) 386-4636, or see www.spl.org.
