BROOKLYN READING WORKS: LEORA SKOLKIN SMITH, RICHARD GRAYSON

8 p.m. OCTOBER 19, 2006 at The Old Stone House on Fifth Avenue between 3rd and 4th Streets. 

It’s a good one:

LEORA SKOLKIN-SMITH will read from her book, “EDGES: O PALESTINE, O ISRAEL” published by “Glad Day Books” "Edges is an elegantly written,  quite moving novel that has a lot to say about love, identity, history and the meaning of nationality. The book is worth reading alone for its superb language, but it is gripping and unforgettable as well in its story telling and evocation of place and emotions. It is a wonderful novel by an author with a quite accomplished voice and style, one well deserving a wide and receptive audience. —
    Oscar Hijuelos, author of Pulitzer-prize winning novel, "The Mambo King Sings Songs of Love"

RICHARD GRAYSON reads from his new collection of short stories, "AND TO THINK HE KISSD HIM ON LORIMER STREET AND OTHER STORIES."
