TUESDAY:
Carl Hiaasen will make an appearance at Politics and Prose to discuss and sign copies of his book, The Downhill Lie. A downhill lie must be like when you tell a friend that you love their favorite band, even though you don’t, and then they say, “Well, I have an extra ticket to their show on Saturday,” which you respond, “That’s too bad. My sister’s in town.” Actually, the book is about golf. 7 p.m.

Robert Jensen will be at the Busboys and Poets in D.C. to hold a discussion on the themes of his last three books: Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity, The Heart of Whiteness: Confronting Race, Racism and White Privilege and Citizens of the Empire: The Struggle to Claim Our Humanity. 6 p.m.

James Rosen will be at the Borders at 600 14th St. NW to discuss and sign copies of The Strong Man: John Mitchell and the Secrets of Watergate. 7 p.m.

WEDNESDAY:
Kathleen Gilles Seidel will be at the Olsson’s in Old Town Alexandria, to discuss her novel, Keep Your Mouth Shut and Wear Beige. 7 p.m.
