You may wish you could Apparate to New York City come Oct. 16.
J.K. Rowling will be making a rare public U.S. appearance to discuss The Casual Vacancy, her first novel for adults, which chronicles a small British town roiled by scandal. The Harry Potter author will be joined by State of Wonder author Ann Patchett for a conversation in Jazz at Lincoln Center's Frederick P. Rose Hall in New York City.
Tickets ($43 if purchased online, $44 if purchased via phone, $37 if purchased at the Jazz at Lincoln Center Box Office) are available starting Sept. 10 and will include a copy of The Casual Vacancy (Sept. 27).
Does this sound like the best book club meeting ever?
