Marietta McCarty book signing in Waynesboro on Saturday

Award-winning author and philosopher Marietta McCarty has paired up with two local establishments to host her signature Meet with Marietta events in March and April. Both pair philosophy and food — two central elements in her latest book, The Philosopher’s Table.

Persistence and Grace

Stone Soup Books in Waynesboro will host an author’s luncheon with Marietta on March 22 starting at noon. The charming atmosphere of this cafe/bookshop provides the perfect backdrop for lunch, laughter, and philosophizing. Marietta will join diners as she rotates among three tables circling from noon to 1:30 p.m. Chef Laura will prepare specialities to complement Burmese cuisine from Vegetable Curry to Mango Tart with Coconut Crust. Burma is the setting for the March chapter in The Philosopher’s Tabletitled “Persistence and Grace.” Reservations are required.

A book signing will follow the luncheon at 1:30 p.m. for approximately one hour. In addition toThe Philosopher’s Table, Marietta’s first two books, Little Big Minds: Sharing Philosophy with Kids (a New York Times Extended List bestseller) and How Philosophy can Save Your Life: 10 Ideas That Matter Most (winner of a Nautilus Book Award) will be available for sale.
