Katie Kitamura and Karen Russell will read from their new novels Audition and The Antidote.

Kitamura's Audition is a novel that twists the two narratives of an accomplished actress and a troubled youth into a compulsively readable story.

Russell's new novel, The Antidote, is set in the mythical town of Uz, Nebraska, during the Dust Bowl. The story follows a cast of characters, including a “Prairie Witch” who keeps the secrets and memories of her fellow townspeople.

The evening will conclude with a book sale and signing.
