Author Peter Ferry @ Book Club Meeting

Tonight's Book Club meeting is a special one--author Peter Ferry will join us to discuss his meta-fictional book Travel Writing. Whether you loved the book, want to challenge the work or simply want to hear Ferry talk about the art of merging fiction and fact, the meeting promises to be an engaging and lively one. As always, 7:30pm at the Book Cellar, 4736-38 N. Lincoln Ave. We look forward to seeing many of you there.
