Susan Orlean and Steve Almond

You may know Susan Orlean from her New York Times bestseller, The Orchid Thief, upon which the Oscar-nominated film Adapation was based, or you may have seen her many pieces in The New Yorker, but you won't want to miss seeing her talk about her latest book, Rin Tin Tin: The Life and Legend. Amazon calls it "a tour de force of history, human interest, and masterful storytelling—the ultimate must—read for anyone who loves great dogs or great yarns."

Steve Almond is the author of ten books of fiction and non-fiction, including Candyfreak and Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life. The New York Times Book Review calls him a "gifted storyteller" who delivers "always enjoyable, often hysterical stories." He will be reading from his latest work, God Bless America, a collection of short stories.
