The spring lineup for Talk of the Stacks has been announced: Just four writers, but big names, all. Here's the schedule:
Feb. 18: Jennifer Senior, New York Magzine contributing editor, will talk about her new book, "All Joy and No Fun: The Paradox of Modern Parenting."
March 7: Novelist and short-story writer Lorrie Moore will discuss "Bark," her first story collection in 15 years.
April 3: Poet Ron Padgett will read from his collected poems, published by Minneapolis' Coffee House Press.
May 12: Francine Prose--poet, novelist, essayist, critic--will discuss "Lovers at the Chameleon Club Paris 1932," her new novel.
All readings are free and open to the public and will take place at the Central Library on the Nicollet Mall. Doors open at 6:15, readings begin at 7 p.m., and each program is followed by a book sale and signing.
