Mystery Writer Sara Paretsky Speaks Tonight

The Bnai Keshet Book Festival and Watchung Booksellers present: An Evening With Sara Paretsky, one of the foremost mystery writers of our time, tonight at Bnai Keshet.

The doors open at 7:00pm, with a pre-reading nosh; at 8:00pm, the award-winning novelist Paretsky, reads from her just-published novel, "Critical Mass," followed by a Q&A and book signing.

For the pre-reading nosh, Bnai Keshet cooks prepare Viennese and Chicago-style food in honor of Paretsky's characters, with a glass of wine and a chance to browse and shop. 

In Paretsky's newest, her famous detective V. I. Warshawski investigates the dramatic past of her close friend, the Viennese-born doctor Lotty Herschel. This riveting narrative moves between present-day Chicago, where Kitty's daughter and her grandson are missing, and the story of a Jewish woman physicist in Nazi-occupied Austria, as Warshawski tries to prevent the awful past from asserting itself again upon her friends.

ADMISSION TO THE EVENING WITH SARA PARETSKY IS FREE, but please RSVP! This event will be popular, and we would like to provide seating for all our guests if possible! Call Watchung Booksellers (973-744-7177) or email them at info@watchungbooksellers.com to let us know you're coming. 

The Book Festival continues on Sunday, 11am-2pm, with a picture-book reading for young children at 11:30am.
