At the just opened Greenlight Bookstore in Fort Greene, Thursday night at 7:30 PM is your chance to hear Jonathan read 1/8th of Chronic City, a surreal and witty epic set in a Manhattan almost like our own. "The
oddball cultural savant Perkus Tooth is an unforgettable character, and
the journey our hapless narrator takes through Perkus' world of
stranded astronauts, dog hotels, giant tigers, and alternate realities
that bleed into city politics is a trip well worth taking," writes the Greenlight Bookstore copywriter.
Lethem is reading the ENTIRE 467 page novel aloud over the course of eight
reading events in New York City — Greenlight Bookstore is proud to
host Reading Number 5! Join us for a reading, followed by a signing and
reception with the author. Then the true fans can stick around for a
second round of reading, as long as it takes to get through 1/8 of the
book!
Apparently Greenlight Bookstore owners, Rebecca and Jessica, both LOVE this novel to the point
of obsession — and they're thrilled to have Lethem for their first sit-down
author event.
Don't miss the chance to meet one of Brooklyn's greatest
literary authors at Brooklyn's newest independent bookstore!
