Even as she wound up a 9-month-long tour for Her Fearful Symmetry, Audrey Niffenegger kindly answered the curious questions from an audience of some 35 fans Wednesday evening at our events building. And even as she was about to wrap up a long day of travel and talk, she shared dinner with six of us booksellers–who had all read and loved Symmetry–and her driver and friend Ronzo. To top it all off, I was glad to see that Audrey was able to browse our first editions and rare books.

For her devoted readers, they will be pleased to know that she has started work on a new novel about “a nine-year-old girl named Lizzie Varo who has hypertrichosis (she is covered with hair) and her desire to go to school (she’s been home-schooled by her clever and amusing Aunt Mariella) and what happens when she does go to school (things get weird)” (see Audrey’s website). If you cannot wait that long, don’t forget about her latest visual novel The Night Bookmobile which first appeared in The Guardian and will be coming out in book form in September of this year.
