William Powers, author of the "green living" bestseller Twelve by Twelve and New Slow City, will read from his new book, Dispatches from the Sweet Life, followed by a discussion and signing. 

Many people fantasize about dramatically changing their lives — living in accordance with their ideals rather than the exigencies of job, bills, and possessions. William Powers actually does it. They build an adobe house beside a prolific orchard and organic garden and weave their life into the community of permaculturists, bio-builders, beer brewers, artists, and creative businesspeople. Can this transition town succeed in the face of encroaching North American capitalism, and can Powers and the other settlers find the balance they’re seeking? Dispatches from the Sweet Lifeis compelling, thought-provoking, and, no matter the outcome, inspirational.
