North Carolina author Jill McCorkle will read from and sign copies of her new short story collection, Going Away Shoes. "These stories provide what brilliant fiction always provides—insight, felt life, voices of others, fascination—but more than anything else, they give pleasure," writes author Richard Bausch. Award-winning McCorkle is the author of eight previous books—three story collections and five novels—five of which have been selected as New York Times Notable Books. She teaches writing at NCSU.

Michael Rosen will discuss and sign copies of his new book, What Else But Home: Seven Boys and an American Journey Between the Projects and the Penthouse. This is an unflinching and compelling first-hand account of a family's improvised journey across the divide of race, class, and economic opportunity in the Lower East Side of New York. "Michael Rosen takes readers on a death-defying journey—gritty, surprising, funny and fiercely honest. What was defied? The death of hope. What we're now graced with? An inspiring book about what one family can accomplish," writes Ron Suskind, author of A Hope in the Unseen.
