Author George P. Pelecanos brings his Soul Circus to town
Readers who like their crime writing hard-boiled and strange should buy a ticket to SOUL CIRCUS. Writer GEORGE P. PELECANOS has resurrected private investigator Derek Strange for a third case, this time for a complicated killing that sees a drug czar sitting behind bars. The D.C.-based series, which includes Right as Rain and Hell to Pay, gives the author free reign over the nation's capital as Strange and his partner, Terry Quinn, attempt to shake loose witnesses from the silent, shady streets. Pelecanos should make a killing (figuratively speaking, of course) when he appears at Joseph-Beth Booksellers at 7 p.m. Thursday. 513-396-8960. ...
The Catholic Church has seen better days, and this might be one of them. Local authors MICHAEL DALEY and WILLIAM MADGES certainly hope as they release their book, VATICAN II: 40 PERSONAL STORIES. It's a compilation of stories about those who took part in or were affected by Vatican II. Archbishop Daniel Pilarczyk will be on hand for the 7 p.m. discussion at Joseph-Beth on Wednesday, March 26, for those keeping the faith. 513-396-8960. ...
THE GREENWICH JAZZ CLUB (2442 Gilbert Ave., Walnut Hills), which has tooted support for the poetry world with its Greenwich Poetry Night 9 p.m. Wednesdays, is prolonging the notes. The last Saturday of each month (that would be March 29, this time around), plays home to the RA SESSIONS. Sponsored by RaRa Enterprises out of Atlanta, the evenings include regional artists, poets, musicians and other performers orchestrating one unique evening of entertainment for a nominal charge. 513-221-1151. ...
Tearing into a good book takes on a whole other meaning with THE EDIBLE BOOK TEA, occurring 6-8 p.m. April 1, at Joseph-Beth Booksellers. This silent auction, benefiting the CINCINNATI BOOK ARTS SOCIETY, features culinary endeavors that guests can bid on. The nonprofit group, recipient of the night's proceeds, work through exhibitions, workshops, lectures and publications to keep the art of book-making alive. The delicious artists will be mingling as their mouth-watering works are on display and earning prizes in a variety of categories. And, as per the name, tea will be served. Now folks can have their book and eat it, too. 513-396-8960.
