Katherine Hastings takes a short break from poetry this month to present JOYCE CAROL OATES reading from her latest novel, The Sacrifice, a fictional account of the 1987 Tawana Brawley case. From the back cover of The Sacrifice: "When a fourteen-year-old girl is the alleged victim of a terrible act of racial violence, the incident shocks and galvanizes her community, exacerbating the racial tension that has been simmering in this New Jersey town for decades…A chilling exploration of complex social, political, and moral themes…The Sacrifice, is a major work of fiction from one of our most revered literary masters." Recorded live at Copperfield’s Books, Santa Rosa.
