Rabbit, Run to the Alley Theatre

As part of their 25th anniversary of bringing big-name authors to Houston, the Inprint Brown Reading Series presents John Updike (he wrote a bunch of books your teachers should have made you read in high school instead of Great Expectations) tonight at the Alley Theatre. Following a banner year of literary appearances that included Louise Erdrich and Mary Gordon, tonight's event will include a reading from Updike's new book, Terrorist, a brief interview and a book signing.

Doors open at 6:45 and the reading begins at 7:30 p.m. Houstonist will be there early, however, since tickets ($10) are only available at the door and seating is limited.
