Thomas Keneally, author of "Schindler's List," discusses his new work, "Searching For Schindler," the story of how he came to write one of the most important books about Nazi-era Germany and a very unlikely hero to European Jews, Nazi Oskar Schindler. Keneally's new book reveals how sheer happenstance led him into a luggage shop in Beverly Hills, which led to conversation about proprietor's own remarkable experience with Oskar Schindler who saved so many Jews from death. Keneally's book, "Schindler's List," emerged as the remarkable and groundbreaking film directed by Steven Spielberg.

We know Jeffrey Toobin from his contributions as Legal Correspondant for The New Yorker, as well as his regular appearances on MSNBC and other news outlets. We also know Toobin from his articles and books on the 2000 election, specifically his great book, "Too Close To Call: The Thirty Six Day Battle To Decide the 2000 Election." Jeffrey Toobin's recent book, "The Nine, Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court," reads more like a novel (a great compliment from us at Writers Bloc) than an account of the men and women who serve on the Supreme Court. Toobin examines the Court from the Reagan administration to the present—and concludes that much more than extensive understanding of the law really decides the outcomes of the cases in front of the court. Barry Siegel, who won a Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing for the Los Angeles Times, has written novels and nonfiction books that pertain to the Court, and to justice. His recent book, "Claim of Privilege," is a work of nonfiction that reads like a thriller. It concerns a case involving a 1948 Air Force plane crash, a law suit that reaches the United States Supreme Court, and secrets harbored by the government for over fifty years.
Tickets
are $20.
