National Book Award winner WILLIAM T. VOLLMANN reading & book signing for "Uncentering the Earth" Tuesday, March 14th at 7 pm
"Uncentering the Earth: Copernicus and The Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres," is William T. Vollmann's gloss on the writings of the Polish astronomer. In this new book, the National Book Award winner provides an explication not only of Copernicus' revolutionary work, but also of Copernicus' epoch, and the momentous clash between science and the church.
William T. Vollmann is the author of several works of fiction and non-fiction, including "Rising Up and Rising Down," a finalist for the 2003 National Book Critics Circle Award, and "Europe Central," which won the 2005 National Book Award. No other writer has appeared more often at The Booksmith as has this acclaimed California author.
