Who: Veronica Roth
What: Discussion, Q&A, and signing
Where: Barnes & Noble Union Square, 33 East 17th St., 212-253-0810
When: Sunday, March 15, free, 12 noon
Why: In another part of our life, we are involved in the publication of Veronica Roth’s bestselling trilogy, Divergent, which was turned into a film last year; Insurgent, which is opening in theaters March 20; and Allegiant. So it is with somewhat of a bias that we recommend this special afternoon at the Union Square B&N, where Ms. Roth will discuss her writing, answer questions, and sign copies of the movie tie-in edition of Insurgent. You’ll have to purchase a copy of the book in order to receive one of the limited wristbands that will get you into the event; the line will start forming at 10:00 am. (There will not be separate queues for Abnegation, Candor, Amity, Erudite, and Dauntless factions.)
