Katherine Howe - The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane
Start: 7:30 pm
Historic LoDo: Katherine Howe is completing a PhD in American and New England Studies and is a descendant of Elizabeth Proctor, who survived the Salem witch trials, and Elizabeth Howe, who did not. Howe will read from and sign the new paperback edition of her bestselling debut novel The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane ($15.99 Voice). “Historian Howe’s spellbinding, vividly detailed, witty, and astutely plotted debut is deeply rooted in her family connection to accused seventeenth-century witches Elizabeth Howe and Elizabeth Proctor and propelled by an illuminating view of witchcraft. In all a keen and magical historical mystery laced with romance and sly digs at society’s persistent underestimation of women.” —Donna Seaman, Booklist Visit The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane’s website.

Jean Hanff Korelitz - Admission
Start: 7:30 pm
Colfax Avenue: Poet and novelist Jean Hanff Korelitz will read from and sign the new paperback edition of her novel Admission ($14.99 Grand Central). For years, 38-year-old Portia Nathan has avoided the past, hiding behind her busy (and sometimes punishing) career as a Princeton University admissions officer and her dependable domestic life. Her reluctance to confront the truth is suddenly overwhelmed by the resurfacing of a life-altering decision, and Portia is faced with an extraordinary test. Just as thousands of the nation’s brightest students await her decision regarding their academic admission, so too must Portia decide whether to make her own ultimate admission.
