The Steel City Reading Series, co-sponsored by Wolfgang Books and Steel City Coffee House, continues on Saturday, June 5th at 3 pm. This time the two businesses will welcome Emily St. John Mandel to Phoenixville. Emily is one of the most exciting young writers working today, surely a rising star, and her most recent novel, The Singer’s Gun, has received considerable praise across the board. Her previous novel, Last Night in Montreal, was one of Wolfgang Books’ favorite books of 2009 and has just been released in paperback. Emily will discuss both her work and her experiences as a writer, among other things.
The event will run the same way the first two installments did: opening with an interview by Jason from Wolfgang Books, followed by an reading from Emily, questions from the audience, and concluding with a booksigning. The books are in stock now at Wolfgang Books and will be for sale the day of the event.
The Steel City Reading Series has gotten off to a great start – hopefully you are able to check it out.

This Friday September 11th, Steel City Coffee House will host a special benefit Wine & Cheese Tasting with Sommelier Carmen Maciarello. The tasting will feature European wines and cheese pairings. Cost of admission is $20.
Chris Adams, classical guitarist, will be on hand to create the appropriate atmosphere. His bio reads:
“Chris Adams brings a palpable energy and considerable skill to his music. Classically trained, this powerful performer fuses the precise agility of his traditional background and the soulfulness of the blues genre with his penchant for venturing past the confines of the ordinary. The songs he creates both borrow from existing musical modalities and extend beyond them. Listening to his music takes one on a journey that is at once melodic and extraordinary, satisfying and lulling, astonishing and invigorating. He creates with sound the visual equivalent of a painter’s colors and hues, varied textures and depth, and one is drawn in to the experience.”
A silent auction of wine and wine related items will be offered. All proceeds will go to Citizen Advocacy of Chester County.
