Events

Jonathan Lethem has added an event to his marathon Chronic City reading series and we're hosting it at WORD! Join us on the Sunday after Thanksgiving for a relaxed brunch event. On Nov. 29 from 12:30-2:30 we'll gather for a casual post-holiday reading in our event space -- Jonathan will read about 40-60 pages from his latest novel, but not continuously - he'll take breaks along the way to sign books and chat with listeners about the book. Bagels, donuts, fruit, pie + a great story -- please join us!  Jonathan Lethem is the author of six novels, including the bestsellers THE FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE and MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award. He is also the author of two short story collections, MEN AND CARTOONS and THE WALL OF THE SKY, WALL OF THE EYE, and a collection of autobiographical essays, THE DISSAPOINTMENT ARTIST. His stories and essays have appeared in The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, Esquire, McSweeny's, Tin House, The New York Times and others. He was recently granted a MacArthur Genius Award. He lives in Brooklyn and Maine.Facebook RSVP here.
