John Biguenet came to Square Books last year to read from his collection of short stories called The Torturer's Apprentice. They were powerful and thrilling stories. He's coming back with a new novel called Oyster. It's the story of two old Louisiana families locked in a rivalry.

Mr. Biguenet will sign copies of Oyster at 5 p.m. and read at 5:30.
