June 2 at 7 pm: Ben Greenman at Community Bookstore

Hey, I just heard from Park Slope's Ben Greenman and he's going to be at the Community Bookstore tomorrow night reading from his new, much-praised book, "Please Step Back."

The Community Bookstore is on Seventh Avenue between Garfield and Carroll Street. There is sure to be wine and refreshments.

New Yorker editor and author Ben Greenman, whose new novel "Please
Step Back" is earning acclaim for its vivid depiction of the life of a
funk-rock star in the turbulent America of the 1960s, reads from his
work tomorrow night, June 2, at 7 p.m. at Community Bookstore in Park
Slope. All are welcome to attend.

The book has already earned advance praise from authors like Walter
Mosley and George Pelecanos, as well as in many print and broadcast
media outlets. Here are some recent highlights:

*"Please Step Back" was selected by Time magazine as a Book of the Week.
*It appeared in New York magazine's coveted Approval Index
*It earned a starred review from Publisher's
Weekly, along with enthusiastic coverage from the Village Voice, Time
Out New York, the Miami Herald, and other publications.
*Greenman appeared on the national radio shows "Studio
360" and "The Michael Eric Dyson Show."
