Debra Ginsberg discusses and signs The Grift August 27, 2008

Ginsberg, author of Waiting: The True Confessions of a Waitress, returns to fiction with this novel about con artists, fortunetellers, and love. Marina Marks has been on the grift as a psychic since she was a child, forced into the business by a junkie mother who was always desperate for her next fix. Marinas gift is the ability to gain the trust of her clients and subtly raise her fees as they become more attached to her and her readings. But when Marina moves to Southern California, she makes a startling discovery: she suddenly has the ability truly to see the future. Everyone purchasing a book at the event will have her name entered in a drawing to win a free astrological reading by Ms. Ginsberg herself!
