The
Penguin Bookshop is excited to welcome four talented and diverse
authors to the store Saturday the 21st for an author signing and
discussion.
12:00 – 2:00 Authors Dr. John Barber, Barbara Cloud, Lawrence
Connolly, Carrie Kennedy, and Kathleen Tessaro will autograph.
Dr. John Barber - Discover or rediscover the joys of pursuing a career in medicine, or, if you are a patient, find others who are going through the same problems you might be suffering from in The Joy of Medical Practice.
Barbara Cloud author of By-line.
"Each of the articles exemplifies the kind of candid and insightful
writing that, for many Pittsburghers, made Barbara Cloud a household
name.
Lawrence Connolly author of Visions. "Visions: Short Fantasy and Sci Fi is genre defying"
Carrie Kennedy author of Panorama. "Through its stylish design, engaging prose, and remarkable clarity, Panorama makes an enormous contribution toward the heightening of our cultural literacy."
The Penguin Bookshop welcomes Franklin Toker for a book signing and discussion of his book, Pittsburgh: A New Portrait
"The book is ambitious and lavish, with vivid photographs and helpful
maps. From the glaciers that built the town and the epidemics and
fires that reshaped it, to the renaissances that renewed it and the
indomitable spirit that sustains it, Pittsburgh is a great American
city-the 'indispensable American city,' in the words of native son
David McCullough. Now it possesses the great architectural guide that
every great American city deserves-and few possess."
-Wall Street Journal
