The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Co-presented with the WASHINGTON CENTER FOR THE BOOK AT THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. From great white sharks, which she wrote about in her bestselling The Devil's Teeth to the big, 100-foot ocean waves she's faced in her newest book, The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks and Giants of the Ocean (Doubleday), Susan Casey has taken on a lot more dangerous adventure than she otherwise faces in her current day job as editor-in-chief of O, The Oprah Magazine. Just published, The Wave is making a big splash in book circles near and far. "The Wave is an amazing look at humble yet larger-than-life people who live by daring feats, honorable acts, and selfless denial—in short, these guys don't care if anyone is looking as they attempt what seems impossible: riding waves the size of ten-story skyscrapers. Casey was there in the middle of the action, and she writes with such precision about strange, wondrous things ... Terrifying, beautiful, her prose is shot through with the haunting half-life of a storm." - Doug Stanton. "Like the surfers and scientists she profiles, Casey lived and breathed giant waves for years. Combine this kind of insane passion for craft with an uncanny ability to describe the indescribable and whisk the reader off to unimaginably surreal settings and scenarios, and you have the rogue talent that is Susan Casey." - Mary Roach. Free admission is on a first-come, first serve basis. The Microsoft Auditorium at Seattle Public Central Library is located at 1000 Fourth Avenue (between Madison & Spring). $5 parking coupons for the Central Library garage are available on a limited basis for those attending.
