Tracy Chevalier, Burning Bright (Penguin)
The Historic Asolo Theatre at the John & Mable Ringling Museum.  5:30 PM

In Girl With a Pearl Earring, Tracy Chevalier brings the paintings of Vermeer to magnificent life. Into a medieval tapestry she weaves new threads of intrigue with The Lady and the Unicorn. Now, in her latest novel, Burning Bright, the award-winning novelist finds inspiration in the works of the radical 18th- century poet-painter William Blake. Join us for an in-depth conversation at the Historic Asolo Theatre as we explore the mysteries of inspiration, the rigors of creation, and the intrigues of interpretation with one of the most brilliant novelists of our time. A booksigning reception follows the program in the delectable new Treviso Restaurant.

TICKETS: $40 for one ticket; $70 for two tickets. Hardcover book and author reception included. For more information, call Christa Southgate at (941) 329-2604.
