2/3: Hannah Pittard Meets Like Fire @ Greenlight

If you’re in the New York City area, I hope you’ll be able to join me Thursday night (February 3rd) at Greenlight Bookstore for a reading by Hannah Pittard from her debut novel, The Fates Will Find Their Way, after which Pittard will be interviewed by my friend Lisa Peet, the editor of the excellent literary blog Like Fire. The “Author/Blogger” pairings at Greenlight are always lively, and I’m looking forward to this conversation—I’m even cutting short a visit to the AWP conference in Washington, D.C., practically rushing straight from a speaking engagement to the train station so I’ll be back in Brooklyn in time for the event. Lisa has been very enthusiastic about the novel, and I’ve set it aside for my train ride down the Eastern seaboard tomorrow afternoon (weather permitting) with much anticipation.

Greenlight Bookstore is located at 686 Fulton Street in Fort Greene, right next to a C train stop, just a block away from a G train, and a short walk from the whole Atlantic/Pacific Avenue subway complex. The reading will start at 7:30 p.m., and although you don’t have to make reservations, if you do happen to be on Facebook, you can give us a heads-up; it’s always helpful to have a rough idea how many chairs to lay out.
