I’ve mentioned David Liss before. He’s the author of three well-reviewed historical novels: A Conspiracy of Paper, The Coffee Trader, and A Spectacle of Corruption. This Wednesday, Liss will discuss his work and sign copies of his books at Unity Temple on the Plaza: 707 W. 47th Street, 7 p.m. For more information, call Rainy Day Books at (913) 384-3126.
