Little Jumbo is pleased to join local booksellers Malaprops for CRAFT: Authors in Conversation, a series conceived and hosted by New York Times bestselling author Denise Kiernan. On September 10, Denise's guest will be Elizabeth Kostova, fellow New York Times bestselling author of The Shadow Land.
After years of interviewing fellow authors at local indie bookstore Malaprop’s, Denise wanted to create a conversation series that would move beyond the longstanding setting and parameters of the typical book tour and provide a much more intimate experience for readers. Bringing the beloved Malaprop’s into the cozy speakeasy space of Little Jumbo sets the perfect stage for engaging conversations with some of the most interesting authors in the country.
The event is free of charge and Little Jumbo offers free parking at 5 Points Restaurant across Broadway. There is also street parking nearby. Find more information at denisekiernan.com/craft.
