Peter Kilborn - Next Stop, Reloville
Start: 7:30 pm
Colfax Avenue: Peter Kilborn, a longtime reporter for The New York Times, will discuss and sign his new book Next Stop, Reloville: Life Inside America’s New Rootless Professional Class ($26.00 Henry Holt), his eye-opening investigation of the growing phenomenon of “Relos,” the professionals for whom relocation is a way of life. Next Stop, Reloville is “…an extraordinary account of people who can’t stay put, who sacrifice community and friendship and stability and roots for the next promotion, the next raise, the next move, which they believe takes them one step closer to the top.” —Minneapolis Star-Tribune Request a signed copy: books@tatteredcover.com
Michael Chabon - Manhood for Amateurs
Start: 7:30 pm
Historic LoDo: Michael Chabon, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author whose works include The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, Wonder Boys, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, and The Yiddish Policemen’s Union, will read from and sign his new book Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son ($25.99 Ecco). Chabon’s major work of nonfiction, Manhood for Amateurs is a memoir as inventive, beautiful, and powerful as his acclaimed, award-winning fiction. In these insightful, provocative, slyly interlinked essays, Chabon presents his autobiography and his vision of life and explores what it means to be a man today. Free numbered tickets for a place in the booksigning line will be available at 6:30 pm; one ticket per customer in line. Seating for the presentation prior to the signing is limited, and available on a first-come, first-served basis to ticketed customers only.
