PEN PARENTIS LITERARY SALON PRESENTS A NIGHT WITH FREE-RANGING GENIUSES

The Pen Parentis Literary Salon welcomes four celebrated authors whose brilliance knows no bounds. These writers range across genre, from fiction to memoir, poetry, and theater. Featuring Nick Flynn, author of, most recently, The Replacements, and Another Bullshit Night in Suck City; Elizabeth Kadetsky, author of the memoir First There Is a Mountain, Darin Strauss, author of Chang & Eng and the National Book Critics Circle Award winning memoir Half a Life; and Rachel Zucker, author of MOTHERs and The Pedestrians. Each author will read from their work and then participate in an informal, salon-style roundtable about their writing and parenting lives. It’s sure to be an insightful, lively evening, and we hope that you will join us.

The reading takes place on Tuesday, October 14th at the elegant Hotel Andaz at 75 Wall Street, which graciously provides happy hour specials on beer on wine. The night kicks off at 7:00 pm, and admission is free. RSVP is recommended, but not required—the Pen Parentis Literary Salon is open to adults over the age of 21. The authors’ books are available for purchase from The Park Slope Community Bookstore.
