Tonight 4-16: Backfence PDX presents Lauren Weedman at The Woods

Today’s Featured Book Event:

Backfence PDX presents BUST: Starring Lauren Weedman (The Woods, @8:00pm, $17 Online/$20 Door): BUST is Lauren Weedman’s semi-autobiographical work built around her experiences working as a volunteer advocate in a Southern California prison for women. With one foot in Hollywood and the other in jail, the former Daily Show correspondent careens wildly between the two worlds, taking us on a hilarious, poignant, and completely unforgettable ride.  Weedman will also be leading workshops while she is in town.  Learn more at the Backfence PDX website.

Sarah Dunant (Powells City of Books, @7:30pm): From Sarah Dunant, acclaimed author of The Birth of Venus, comes Sacred Hearts (Random House), an engrossing new novel set in a convent in Renaissance Italy, where a defiant 16-year-old girl has just been confined against her will — for life.
