Jasper Fforde hat 43 vergangene Veranstaltungen. (show)  Saratoga: Jasper Fforde "The Eye of Zoltar" The beloved bestselling author of whimsical fantasty for children and adults presents the third book in his Chronicles of Kazam series. Although she’s an orphan in indentured servitude, sixteen-year-old Jennifer Strange is pretty good at her job of managing the unpredictable crew at Kazam Mystical Arts Management. She already solved the Dragon Problem, avoided mass destruction by Quarkbeast, and helped save magic in the Ununited Kingdoms. Yet even Jennifer may be defeated when the long-absent Mighty Shandar makes an astonishing appearance and commands her to find The Eye of Zoltar—proclaiming that if she fails, he will eliminate the only two dragons left on earth.
How can a teenage non-magician outdo the greatest sorcerer the world has ever known? But failure is unacceptable, so Jennifer must set off for the mysterious Cadir Idris in the deadly Cambrian Empire—a destination with a fatality index of fifty percent. With the odds against them, will Jennifer and her traveling companions ever return to the Kingdom of Snodd?

 Irvine Welsh Legendary Scottish satirist Irvine Welsh returns to the Wheeler Centre with his brand new book The Sex Lives of Siamese Twins. Tapping into the two major obsessions of contemporary life – how we look and where we live – the latest opus from the master of linguistic manipulation will be as controversial as it is lively. Far from the rainy shores of Scotland, The Sex Lives of Siamese Twins takes place in eye-popping, body-obsessed Miami Beach, and follows the dark and humorous story of quick-tempered personal trainer Lucy Brennan, who takes manipulative Lena Sorenson on as a client. In typical Welsh fashion, sex, depravity, sado-masochism, murder and madness ensue, following in the vein of Welsh’s classic international bestsellers Trainspotting, Filth and The Acid House.
Join Wheeler Centre director Michael Williams as they discuss Irvine’s stellar career, and dissect the darkness that lurks behind the beachfronts of modern-day Miami.
Presenters

Irvine Welsh is the author of nine works of fiction. Trainspotting has been published in 29 countries and sold over one million copies in the UK. His most recent works include Crime and The Bedroom Secrets of the Masterchefs.

 Jasper Fforde is coming back! Cross your fingers for no natural disaster! He's coming back! You might remember that Jasper Fforde was scheduled to be here last fall to promote his new book, The Last Dragonslayer. We actually won a contest to have him come to the store! And then Hurricane Sandy hit. Many tough things happened, least of all that Jasper wasn't able to make it to the store. He got home safely, and is now coming back to promote his second book in the series, The Song of the Quarkbeast! We hope you can make it! Magic has been in a sad state in the Ununited Kingdom for years, but now it's finally on the rise, and boneheaded King Snodd IV knows it. If he succeeds at his plot, the very future of magic will be at risk! Sensible sixteen-year-old Jennifer Strange, acting manager of Kazam Mystical Arts Management and its unpredictable crew of sorcerers, has little chance against the king and his cronies--but there's no way Kazam will let go of the noble powers of magic without a fight. A suspenseful, satirical story of Quarkbeasts, trolls, and wizidrical crackle! " Fforde's signature humor and tongue-in-cheek social commentary persist in the second book of The Chronicles of Kazam trilogy." --Kirkus Jasper Fforde is the critically acclaimed author of Shades of Grey, the Thursday Next series, and the Nursery Crime series. After giving up a varied career in the film world, he now lives and writes in Wales, and has a passion for aviation. Visit him at www. JasperFforde.com.
