MORE: Mo Rocca has always loved obituaries-reading about the remarkable lives of global leaders, Hollywood heavyweights, and innovators who changed the world. But not every notable life has gotten the send-off it deserves. His quest to right that wrong inspired Mobituaries, his #1 hit podcast. Now with Mobituaries, the book, he has gone much further, with all new essays on artists, entertainers, sports stars, political pioneers, founding fathers, and more. Even if you know the names, you've never understood why they matter . . . until now.

Tickets ($25) are available for purchase through the Houston Public Library Foundation. Copies of "Mobituaries" ($30) will be available for optional purchase for a signing with Mo after the Q&A.
