Carmela Ciuraru discusses and signs Nom de Plume: A (Secret) History of Pseudonyms

Carmela Ciuraru explores the fascinating stories of more than a dozen authorial impostors across centuries and cultures, plumbing the creative process and the darker, often crippling aspects of fame. Biographies have chronicled the lives of individual pseudonymous authors such as Mark Twain, Isak Dinesen, and George Eliot, but never before have the stories behind many noms de plume been collected into a single volume.

Carmela will be joined and interviewed by Nick Owcher, book editor for the Los Angeles Times.
