- How does one write a comedy about some of the most timely and sensitive subject matter on Earth? Meet Kirsten Miller, whose newest book “Lula Dean’s Little Library of Banned Books” examines the impact that some of the most powerful books in history can have on a small Southern town where many residents long for truth, while others would rather retain the long-standing status quo of bigotry and misogyny. Miller is visiting Tucson to take part in the annual The Brandeis Sheila Rothenberg Book & Author Event on March 13th.
