Tickets are available at the door for the Meet the Author Reception for $20 per guest.
The Friends of the Library and the Jewish Community Federation are collaborating in bringing Ms. Waldman to Chattanooga.
Her finest novel to date, LOVE AND TREASURE, is a spell-binding story of contraband masterpieces and valuables, weaving a tale around the fascinating true history of the Hungarian Gold Train in WWII which was filled with unspeakable riches confiscated from the Jewish population by the Nazis. A story of brilliantly drawn characters, LOVE AND TREASURE, is a sad, funny, richly-detailed work that poses hard questions about the value of precious things in a time when life itself has no value.
Other books by Ms. Waldman include: Red Hook Road, A Chronicle of Maternal Crimes, Minor Calamities and Occasional Moments of Grace, Love and Other Impossible Pursuits, Mommy Track Mysteries. Her essays have appeared in the New York Times, Vogue, Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal. Radio commentaries have been broadcast on All Things Considered, and the California Report. Ms. Waldman is married to author Michael Chabon, and they have four children.
