I guess we really love writers and books in Park Slope.

Tonight at 7 p.m.:  NIGHT and DAY restaurant presents Jonathan Baumbach reading from his  most recent book, On the Way to My Father’s Funeral: New and Selected Stories (Low Fidelity Press). The New York Times Sunday Book Review said of Baumbach: "an underappreciated writer [who] employs a masterfully dispassionate, fiercely intelligent narrative voice whose seeming objectivity is always a faltering front for secret passion and despair." He has also had cameo roles in the three films of his son Noah, most recently "The Squid and the Whale."
