March 16, 2011, Wednesday - Talk of the Stacks, Featuring Jasper Fforde at Central Library
Time: 7:00pm
Location: Pohlad Hall, Central Library, 300 Nicollet Mall
Jasper Fforde is the New York Times bestselling author of the Thursday Next series, the Nursery Crimes series, and the Shades of Grey series. Noted for their literary allusions, wordplay and tight plots, his books are a mixture of fantasy, crime thriller, and humorous fiction. Born in London, Fforde’s early career was spent in the film industry, where he worked on a number of films including Quills, GoldenEye, and Entrapment. Set in an alternate England circa 1985 where airships rule the skies and people can read themselves into books, One of Our Thursdays is Missing is an exuberant return to the fantastical “BookWorld” and the beloved heroine Thursday Next.
Talk of the Stacks is a reading series exploring contemporary literature and culture.
This program is free and open to the public. Seating is first come, first served. Doors open at 6:15pm.
