John Michael Varese and Caroline Woods: Braiding History with Fiction

2 P.M. on the Talks Stage; book signing afterward at the Magers & Quinn booksellers area

“Join us as two travelers to the Twin Cities present new novels set against historic backdrops—Victorian era London and the Gilded Age of Minneapolis. In The Company, Jon Michael Varese concocts a gothic thriller following one woman’s fight to preserve her luxuriously wallpapered home while battling unspeakable terror, while in The Mesmerist, Caroline Woods explores a true crime tale through the eyes of three very different women who must work together to stop a killer and save the truest home they've ever known. Is the truly malevolent force in these vivid and well researched historical fictions the patriarchy? Find out as these writers draw the curtain back on their work!”
