Yes, this does conflict with tonight's Brooklyn Reading Works which is presenting New Work by Brooklyn Playwrights. But, Steven Berlin Johnson is a friend of OTBKB and a brilliant guy. He has a new book out called The Invention of Air. You decide. Here's a note from him:
Friends, a somewhat last-minute notice to let you know that I'll be
doing a special post-Inauguration talk about The Invention of Air
tomorrow, Thurs Jan 22, at the Court Street Barnes and Noble in
Brooklyn at 7PM. I try to not to overwhelm you all with these events —
this is actually the third NY event we've done — but I've just
returned from a exciting tour with big crowds pretty much at every
stop, and so it'd be nice to end on a high note in my home borough. So
if you can come out, or encourage others to come out, that'd be awesome!

So far, we've had a great response to the book, both in the event
turnout and the reviews. There's a good overview on my blog if you're
interested, including a wonderful review we just got from the Financial
Times over the weekend:
