Author Anastasia Rubis is coming to Barrett Bookstore to discuss her book Oriana: A Novel Of Oriana Fallaci, the first historical novel about the brilliant and glamorous Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci.

— an announcement from Barrett  Bookstore

Fallaci blazed a trail for women in the ’60s and ’70s with her provocative interviews of world leaders and celebrities, but struggled in her personal life to find love and happiness. ​

Oriana is placed in the same category as Barbara Walters and Mike Wallace when naming the greatest interviewers of all time, but the story of her career and her great love is little-known in America — until now. Ms. Rubis will be in conversation with artist and architect Yanni Fotiadis.
