Tomorrow!

Brian Strause – Tuesday, August 8 Thurber House Picnic

"Columbus native Brian Strause is a former associate producer for the PBS show The 90s. Strause will read from his debut novel, Maybe a Miracle, about a Columbus family who is transfixed by a series of peculiar, and sometimes humorous, events after an accident leaves an 11-year-old girl in a coma. In Maybe a Miracle, Strause bridges the gap between those who believe in miracles and those who wish they could as he “creates a world that is laugh-out loud funny… provocative and unique,” said People magazine." according to Experience Columbus.

Experience Columbus was providing a special ticket offer to members of the Columbus Insiders Club, check to see if it is still available.

Murder !

A murder case that captivated the nation is the theme of Sharon Hatfield's book ' Never Seen the Moon: The Trials of Edith Maxwell.' Hatfield will read from that book at the Thurber House Picnic on Wednesday, July 26. James Thurber covered the murder back in the day.

The Thurber House website says:

"Sharon Hatfield is an award-winning journalist and a professor at Hocking College in Nelsonville. She will read from her book, Never Seen the Moon: The Trials of Edith Maxwell, about a murder case that captured the attention of the nation and was covered by James Thurber, among other journalists. As a reporter, Hatfield wrote about the Virginia justice system in the same courtroom where Maxwell was tried. She is a contributing editor to American Vein : Critical Readings In Appalachian Literature, an anthology of literary criticism on Appalachian novelists, poets, and playwrights".

Hatfield was the recipient of the 2005 W. D. Weatherford Award for Non-fiction in Appalachian Studies.
