Claire Vaye Watkins - Battleborn
Start: 7:00 pm
End: 8:00 pm

Raised in the Nevada desert, Watkins takes the American West as her literary territory, exploring its opportunities, limits, and hardships in ten stories that range from the glitz of Las Vegas to the grittier lives of prostitutes and prospectors. With characters by turns desperate, rugged, and independent, Watkins depicts a regional spirit that thrives on challenges and has no truck with easy sentiment.

Monica Wood - When We Were the Kennedys: A Memoir from Mexico, Maine
Start: 7:00 pm
End: 8:00 pm

Wood’s memoir looks back to 1963, when her father’s sudden death coincided with JFK’s assassination. The dual events motivated the family to travel from their home in Maine to Washington, D.C.—one grieving Catholic widow with young children partaking of the public grief of another.
