An Evening with Jess Walter & Colson Whitehead 

Jess Walter's critically acclaimed The Zero was a National Book Award finalist, and The Financial Lives of the Poets, which TIME Magazine called, "a small masterpiece," is being made into a movie. His latest book, The Beautiful Ruins, is due out in June 2012.

Colson Whitehead, author of The Intuitionist and Sag Harbor, will read from his latest work, Zone One, a post apocalyptic novel. Kirkus Reviews said of the recent release, Whitehead "sinks his teeth into a popular format and emerges with a literary feast.”
