Joy Tipping spoke with Brock Clarke ahead of his appearance with "Late Nights at the Dallas Museum of Art" tomorrow. We'll have that story in tomorrow's GuideLive.

For those of you planning ahead, here's the review of The Arsonist's Guide to Writer's Homes in New England.

And here's a complete list of the evening's activities, provided by our friends at The Dallas Museum of Art:

Author Brock Clarke discusses his original and critically acclaimed novel An Arsonist's Guide to Writers' Homes in New England, a delightfully dark story about literature, lies, love, and life. In the league of contemporary classics such as A Confederacy of Dunces and Catch-22, this novel is a heartbreaking and entertaining story about truth and honesty and the damage they do.

Late Night Open Mic

10:30-11:30 p.m., C3 Theater

Hear Dallas's hottest poets or share some of your own verses. Hosted by Tisha Crear of Reciprocity. Readings may contain adult themes and language. Spoken word performances only; no instruments allowed.


FILMS


Vanity Fair

10:00 p.m., Horchow Auditorium

Acclaimed director Mira Nair adapts William Thackeray's classic novel - a satire of society in nineteenth-century England. Beck Sharp (Reese Witherspoon) uses her wit and cunning to ascend the social ladder and finds that "polite society turns out to be anything but as life gets harder and more complicated the higher she climbs."
This film is rated PG-13.

9:00 p.m., Horchow Auditorium

Join Dr. Eleanor Hughes, Post-Doctoral Research Associate at the Yale Center for British Arts, as she examines J.M.W. Turner's marine subjects and how they responded to the Romantic taste for sublime horror and helped shape public response to an era of British naval supremacy and imperial aspiration.
