Anastasia Rubis, author of Oriana, will be interviewed by Franco D’Alessandro, playwright of Roman Nights

Oriana Fallaci owned a townhouse  in Manhattan but she is little-known in America today. This is the first biographical novel about the fearless woman whom Christiane Amanpour has called her role model  and who holds a place alongside Mike Wallace and Barbara Walters as a master interviewer. It is the story of a trailblazer who revolutionized her field, all while struggling to carve out a space for love and family.

ORIANA will be for sale at the event (credit card, cash or check) and Anastasia will be signing and doing a meet and greet. ORIANA is available wherever books are sold.

About the author/presenter: Anastasia Rubis has written for the New York Times, Huffington Post, New York Observer, and literary journals.  She earned a BA magna cum laude from Brown University and an MA from Montclair State University, where she was an adjunct professor. She lives with her husband, architect Yanni Fotiadis, in New Jersey, where they raised their daughter.  She is a member of NOIAW  and will be speaking at the Columbus Citizens Foundation on July 16.
