Magic City Books is thrilled to welcome Bonnie Garmus, author of the global bestseller Lessons in Chemistry for a special event to celebrate the paperback release of the book that has sold more than 8 million copies worldwide on Wednesday, April 2 at 7:00 pm. Lessons in Chemistry tells the story of Elizabeth Zott, a chemist in the late 1950s-early 1960s who’s fired from her research job for the horrific crime of being unwed and pregnant. To make ends meet, she reluctantly accepts a job as a TV cooking show host. But what she doesn’t accept are the brainless cue cards she’s asked to read, nor the tight dresses she’s told to wear. Instead, Elizabeth decides to teach her mostly female viewers chemistry. Because cooking is chemistry. And along the way, she empowers them to say no to society’s limitations; to stand up and be who they really are. This ticketed event will take place at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, 2952 S. Peoria Avenue. All tickets include one (1) paperback copy of Lessons in Chemistry ($19.00 value) and one (1) general admission seat at the event on April 2. All books will be available for pickup at the event. All tickets include a copy of the book, there is a limit of four tickets per transaction. Please provide the full name and email address of each ticket holder so that all event notifications and information can be sent to all attendees. If you have a ticket and are unable to attend the event, you will be able to pick up your book at Magic City Books during normal business hours. The last day for ticket holders to pick up Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus is Friday, May 16, 2025. We will make an effort to have signed books available for pick up but can not guarantee a signed copy. About Lessons in Chemistry#1 GLOBAL BESTSELLER WITH MORE THAN 8 MILLION COPIES SOLD - Meet Elizabeth Zott:  a gifted research chemist, absurdly self-assured and immune to social convention  (The Washington Post) in 1960s California whose career takes a detour when she becomes the unlikely star of a beloved TV cooking show. - STREAM ON APPLE TV+ This novel is  irresistible, satisfying and full of fuel  (The New York Times Book Review) and  witty, sometimes hilarious...theCatch-22of early feminism  (Stephen King, via Twitter). A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR:The New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, Oprah Daily, Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel-prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with--of all things--her mind. True chemistry results. But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America's most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth's unusual approach to cooking ( combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride ) proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn't just teaching women to cook. She's daring them to change the status quo. Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and vibrant as its protagonist. Bonnie Garmus is a copywriter and creative director who has worked for a wide range of clients, in the US and abroad, focusing primarily on technology, medicine, and education. From Seattle, she currently lives in London with her husband and her dog, 99.
