The Community of Writers in collaboration with
Stories on Stage Sacramento,
is proud to present New York Times bestselling author of White Oleander Janet Fitch

 

Saturday, November 11, 2017 at 7:00 pm

The Auditorium at CLARA
1425 24th St., Sacramento

The Russian Revolution will be center stage for this evening of literature, conversation, and music. Made doubly relevant by today’s headlines, and the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution, this interview and exploration of Janet Fitch’s new novel, The Revolution of Marina M.  will be interspersed with dynamic readings from the book by a professional actor.

Set in the turbulent period before and after the overthrow of the Tsar, this historical novel presents a sweeping account of a young poet carried by the tide of revolution into a life greater than anything she ever imagined.

  • Reception with Russian sweets and vodka (wine and beer). Souvenir shot glass included with ticket price.
  • Copies of The Revolution of Maria M. will be available for sale
  • Janet Fitch will sign copies during the reception.
  • Beaucoup Chapeaux will perform Eastern European and Baltic traditional folk songs. (See video below.)

Proceeds will support the Community of Writers.
