MONDAY:
Cass R. Sunstein will be at Politics and Prose to discuss the book Worst-Case Scenarios. No, it’s not one of those books that gives you tips on how to survive if you wake up next to someone whose name you don’t remember or how to retrieve a candy bar stuck in the lunchroom vending machine. It’s actually about scary stuff, like nuclear bombs in suitcases or avian flu. We prefer learning how to jump from a building into a dumpster. It’s less of a downer. 7 p.m.
TUESDAY:
Don’t hear enough about Lincoln’s awesome lawyering skills in your average workweek? Best-selling historian Julie M. Fenster will be at the Penn Quarter Olsson’s to read from The Case of Abraham Lincoln: A Story of Adultery, Murder, and the Making of a Great President. 7 p.m.
Judith Jones, cookbook editor at Knopf, brings her memoir, The Tenth Muse: My Life in Food, to Politics and Prose. 7 p.m.
WEDNESDAY:
Washington-area writers Michelle Brafman, Merle Collins, T. Greenwood, Joanne Leedom-Ackerman, Faye Moskowitz, Barbara Mujica, Jessica Neely, Amy Stolls, Hananah Zaheer, and Christy J. Zink will be at Politics and Prose to read from their contributions to the latest anthology Electric Grace: Still More Fiction by Washington Area Women. 7 p.m.
