See & Do - Books: Gene Wilder June 19 2009

Sun., June 28

Famed actor and author GENE WILDER, he of the madly flyaway hair and fierce eyes, affords his Atlanta-area fans insight into his new book, The Woman Who Wouldn’t, at a discussion and signing session. Like the comedic genius’s iconic screenplay The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother, his new book tackles upper-crust society in turn-of-the-century Europe with the classic Wilder flavor that blends light-hearted absurdism with genuine emotion. Hosted by the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta. $15-$45. 7 p.m. Zaban Park, 5342 Tilly Mill Road. 678-812-4005. www.atlantajcc.org.
