This coming Wednesday, June 11, from 12:30 to 1:45 p.m., Sarah Weinman, creator of the blog Confessions of an Idiosyncratic Mind, will host the Word for Word Author Series. The guests will be crime fiction author Douglas Preston and Italian journalist Mario Spezi who will be discussing Preston's chilling account and Spezi's investigation of a legendary serial killer. Known as the “Monster of Florence,” the killer continues to haunt the Italian police, courts, and people even after 40 years. This free event will take place outdoors, weather permitting, at the Bryant Park Reading Room in New York City, located on the 42nd Street side of the park - under the trees - between the back of the New York Public Library and 6th Avenue. Look for the burgundy and white umbrellas. The rain venue is the Library of the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen, 20 West 44th Street (between 5th & 6th Avenue). For more details and event changes, check out www.bryantpark.org.
Note that this will be the only venue in America in which Mario Spezi will also be signing books, and independent bookseller Mobile Libris will be on hand to sell copies.
