Jess Walter to speak at Cd'A Library on Thursday

The Coeur d’Alene Public Library Foundation will present an entertaining evening with Jess Walter, one of the Pacific Northwest’s premier writers, at 7 p.m. Thursday.

Hear Walter discuss his new book, “The Angel of Rome and Other Stories,” in the library’s community room.

“The Angel of Rome” is a captivating 12-story collection that finds an array of contemporary characters living as we live now, craving fame or reinvention that often obscures the true person behind the mask.

Walter is the author of 10 books, most recently “The Angel of Rome," and No. 1 New York Times bestseller, “Beautiful Ruins.” His books include the national bestseller “The Financial Lives of the Poets,” National Book Award Finalist “The Zero,” Edgar Award-winning “Citizen Vince,” “Land of the Blind” and the New York Times Notable Book “Over Tumbled Graves.”

“The Angel of Rome” and additional titles will be for sale at the event by The Well-Read Moose.

Tickets are $40 per person and can be purchased at: www.brownpapertickets.com/event/5405269

Doors open at 6 p.m.

The evening will include raffle items and complimentary desserts. Bakery by the Lake will offer wine and beer for purchase.
