Anita Diamant with Pitching My Tent
Friday, October 24
Stamford Marriott
8:45 AM

$25 per person

Anita Diamant, author of the hugely successful The Red Tent, will join Just Books and Elm Street Books at 8;45 AM, Friday, October 24 at the Stamford Marriott to tell us about her new book Pitching My Tent: On Marriage, Motherhood, Friendship and Other Leaps of Faith (Scribner; $24). Anita is an eloquent speaker and if you haven't met her before you should sign up now! Pitching My Tent is a collection her essays collected over the 20-year span of her career as a journalist. Anita states that this collection turns out to be "sort of a diary" and includes a wide range of topics under the tent of marriage motherhood, friendship and the overall meaning of life. Anita will be joined by Rebecca Jofferey, talking about her book This Day: Diaries from American Women which is a collection of diary entries of women across the United States. Individually and collectively, these diaries reveal what women love--and don't love!--about their families, jobs, and lives. They illuminate common threads, from the macro (too hectic lifestyles) to the micro (craving chocolates).
