BOOKS

Anne Enright Ireland has a long tradition of breaking ground in literature, and Enright’s new book, “The Forgotten Waltz,” tries to do the same for our era. The book is set in the outer rings of Dublin but peels back the placidity to explore the glimmers of hope and connection beneath the structures of family and suburbia. Brighde Mullins moderates. ALOUD at Central Library, 630 W. 5th St., L.A. Free.7 p.m. lapl.org.

POP MUSIC

The Satellite, 1717 Silver Lake Blvd., L.A. 9 p.m. $8. thesatellitela.com.
