Monday 4 February 2008: Geraldine Brooks/Jordan Fisher Smith
On 4 February I talked with Geraldine Brooks, best known for her book Nine Parts of Desire: The Hidden World of Islamic Women and her novel March (Penguin), which won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, about her latest novel People of the Book (Viking). She will speak at the Crest Theater in Sacramento as part of the California Lectures series at 7:30 PM on Wednesday 6 February.

I then talked with Nevada City author Jordan Fisher Smith, whose book Nature Noir (Houghton Mifflin) is this year's Nevada County Reads selection. You can find a list of upcoming Nevada County Reads events with Jordan Fisher Smith here.
