Powerful Women, featuring Marlon James, Marie Mockett, and Stephanie Keith May 1, 2009

Exploring unusual manifestations of female power: Novelist Marlon James reads briefly from his acclaimed (and magnificent) novel, The Book of Night Women, alongside fellow writer Marie Mockett (of the excellent forthcoming novel Picking Bones from Ash). Photo-documentarian Stephanie Keith will present a slideshow featuring a Voodoo high priestess she's been following.

We'll have trivia and prizes, and the readings and presentation will get started at 7:30 and finish up by 8:30, if not before. Arrive early if you can. It gets crowded!
