Shipstead, author of "Astonish Me," and Kaysen, author of "Cambridge," will make an appearance at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 29, at the Greenwich Library. The pair will discuss their books as part of AuthorsLive. Books will be available for purchase and signing through Diane's Books. This series is free and open to the public.

"From the author of the widely acclaimed debut novel 'Seating Arrangements,' and winner of the Dylan Thomas Prize, 'Astonish Me' is a compelling glimpse into the passionate, political world of professional ballet and its magnetic hold over two generations," representatives said in a press release.

"Susanna Kaysen, best-selling author of 'Girl, Interrupted' visits Greenwich Library to discuss her new novel, 'Cambridge,' as part of AuthorsLive," representatives said. "In 'Cambridge,' Kaysen once again digs deep into her personal adolescent experiences to deliver a story that illuminates the thinking of her young female protagonist. Kaysen's novel will appeal to lovers of novels of academic life and readers of literary fiction."
