International Literacy ... and Chicken?
Just in case there aren’t already enough reasons to love New York, the National Book Awards and the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) have cooked up another series of events that include food, wine, authors and live music. Eat, Drink & Be Literary “continues the momentum of the past two sell-out series, bringing major contemporary authors to BAMcafé for intimate dinners, readings, and discussions that are always entertaining and engaging.”
BAMcafé’s executive chef, Coleman Foster, will create a buffet for each event and dinner will be served with wine from Pine Ridge Winery. Meanwhile the Brooklyn Academy of Music will kick in the tunes while the National Book Foundation brings along the authors.
The nine events will be moderated by Brigid Hughes (A Public Space, The Paris Review) and Jessica Hagedorn (The Gangster of Love, Dogeaters). Some of the events are already sold out, so book quickly. Still available are events featuring Francine Prose (A Changed Man, Blue Angel); Pete Hamill (Snow in August, Forever); Jonathan Franzen (The Corrections, How to Be Alone); Cynthia Ozick (Heir to the Glimmering World, The Puttermesser Papers); Sandra Cisneros (Woman Hollering Creek, The House on Mango Street); Gary Shteyngart (The Russian Debutante’s Handbook, Absurdistan); Kurt Andersen (Turn of the Century, Heyday).
A family-friendly event is scheduled for March 10 and 11. The BAMfamily Book Brunch will feature the father and son writer/illustrator team of Walter Dean Myers and Christopher Myers.
