7:00 PM – Rudy Rucker: Reading & Signing
UW Bookstore U District
Presented by Clarion West: “Rudy Rucker is a startlingly original writer and thinker, a teacher, philosopher, mathematician, computer scientist, and the author of thirty books of fiction, biography, and science. An influential cyberpunk ally and the originator of the term “transrealism,” Rucker is an inspiring lecturer and a proponent of “gnarl,” the creation of art that lives at the boundary between order and chaos. Rudy Rucker is the 2009 Susan C. Petrey Fellow.” (UW Bookstore)

7:30 PM – Rick Bass: The Wild Marsh: Four Seasons at Home in Montana
Elliott Bay Book Co.
“Classic in form, the journal of a year in an old loved place, The Wild Marsh is a lovingly wrought chronicle from a writerly soul that has found its spot in the world: the one-of-a-kind Yaak Valley of northwestern Montana. Sure-footed in his approach, whether the topic is a forest fire in his front yard or the excitement of the first tiny, cheerful glacier lilies in spring, Rick Bass is a stirring companion on the trail that leads west from the Walden Pond of Henry David Thoreau and the Sand County of Aldo Leopold.” – Ivan Doig
