Columbia City Cinema Presents: An Evening with Garth Stein
Next in our popular From Reel to Real live event series is an evening with author Garth Stein (April 20) who will read from his novel, The Art of Racing in the Rain and talk about life as a New York times best selling author.
A heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope, The Art of Racing in the Rain is a beautifully crafted and captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life...as only a dog could tell it.
Joining Garth will be the Cinema's own Paul Doyle, reading from his novel Nioka, Bride of Bigfoot, one woman's eco-adventure set in the Pacific NW rainforest.
