We're pleased to partner with the Ragdale Foundation for an evening with B.A. (Barbara) Shapiro, whose bestselling novel The Art Forger is new in paperback. The story of an artist who makes a Faustian bargain with a powerful gallery owner to forge an Degas painting, it was a #1 IndieNEXT list pick when it originally came out in 2013 and winner of that year's New England Book Award. Ms. Shapiro will discuss the book and give us a preview of her new novel, The Muralist, about an American painter who vanishes in New York on the eve of World War II. It is due out this fall.
