DESCRIPTION:WILLIAM T. VOLLMANN\nreading & booksigning for Riding Toward 
 Everywhere\nThursday, February 7 at 7:00 pm\n\nWilliam T. Vollmann has 
 investigated humanity's obsession with violence (Rising Up and Rising 
 Down), taken a personal look into the hearts and minds of the poor (Poor 
 People), and now turns his attentions to America, to our romanticizing of 
 "freedom" and the ways in which we restrict the very liberties we profess 
 to admire. Riding Toward Everywhere is the new book from the National Book 
 Award winning author of Europe Central.\n\nWilliam T. Vollmann is the 
 author of seven novels; three collections of stories; a seven-volume 
 critique of violence, Rising Up and Rising Down (finalist for the National 
 Book Critics Circle Award); and Poor People, an examination of poverty. His 
 most recent novel, Europe Central, won the National Book Award in 2005. He 
 has also won the PEN Center USA West Award for Fiction, a Shiva Naipaul 
 Memorial Prize, and a Whiting Writers' 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
