DESCRIPTION:WILLIAM T. VOLLMANN \nreading & booksigning for "Poor People"\nWednesday, 
 March 14 at 7:00 pm\n \nIn "Rising Up and Rising Down," William T. Vollmann 
 conducted an all-out investigation into violence. Now, in the tradition of 
 James Agee's "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men," Vollmann's new book struggles 
 to confront poverty in all its hopelessness and brutality, its pride and 
 abject fear, its fierce misery, and its quiet resignation. "Poor People" 
 allows the poor to speak for themselves, explaining the causes and 
 consequences of their impoverishment in human terms.\n \nWilliam 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.\n\nThis Booksmith 
 sponsored event will take place at The Booksmith (1644 Haight Street in San 
 Francisco). For further information, call 415-863-8688 or visit
