.Words & Wine>

“This was totally different from anything I have ever done; I'd prefer it if all author events were like this. Warren Etheredge is a good interviewer; a couple of glasses of wine help, and everyone buying a book is part of it. This was far preferable to me than doing an event in a big hall with 2000 people where you cannot see their faces from the stage. This seems perfectly Seattle to me. This was really the best thing I have ever done as an author.”
— Ethan Canin, author of America, America

“I wanted to tell you how enjoyable the last Words & Wine was (Andre Dubus III) for my money, the best I've attended. Beautiful evening, beautiful venue, and he was clearly so thrilled to be in the presence of such an appreciative and enthralled audience. And Warren was really ‘on!’ It's not always easy to be there after a long day of work, but I wouldn’t have missed this for anything. It is a reminder to me of the tremendous benefit this series (and all your efforts) are to this city.”
— Robert Sutherland, attendee
