 The Economist as &ldquo\;Ireland's finest contemporary novelist\,&rdquo\; 
 won the 2005 Man Booker Prize for his novel\, The Sea. A prodigious author
 \, Banville has written more than 20 books\, including mysteries under the
  pen name Benjamin Black. The Sunday Telegraph says\, &ldquo\;With his fas
 tidious wit and exquisite style\, John Banville is the heir to Nabokov.&rd
 quo\;\nHis other works include The Book of Evidence\, which The New York T
 imes Book Review calls &ldquo\;a disturbing little novel that might have b
 een coughed up from hell\,&rdquo\; Eclipse\, Shroud\, The Untouchable\, an
 d many others\; his Benjamin Black titles include Christine Falls and The 
 Silver Swan. Banville will read from his eagerly anticipated new novel\, T
 he Infinities\, a wholly unexpected lively\, comical\, and irreverent mult

 l examination of what it means to be alive.&rdquo\;\nHis newest work\, Cut
 ting for Stone\, marks his transition from memoir to the novel\, in a spra
 wling family epic set mostly in Ethiopia. Verghese is &ldquo\;something of
  a magician as a novelist\,&rdquo\; writes USA Today\, adding that &ldquo\
 ;Cutting for Stone is an underdog and a winner. Shades of Slumdog Milliona
 ire.&rdquo\; Simon Schama calls it &ldquo\;beautiful and deeply affecting.
 &rdquo\; Verghese is currently a professor at the Stanford University Scho
 ol of Medicine.\n \nTracy Kidder\nMarch 22\, 2010\nHubbard Stage\, Alley T
