“From Ireland to our island, these two wordsmiths have a throng of appreciators. This is a McCann-appropriate occasion to link up with a bunch of other prose lovers and listen to the inspiration and many editorial choices behind the National Book Award winner's fantastic, daisy-chained Let the Great World Spin. Chum Toibin, meanwhile, chats about his own gorgeous tale set in these zip codes, Brooklyn.”
The Irish writers and good friends discuss their newest novels, each of which is set in New York City and was chosen by Amazon as one of the Top 4 Books of 2009, with each other and the audience. A book signing will follow. While you enjoy the event, have a glass of wine and a light evening meal in the intimate cabaret atmosphere of the Leonard Nimoy Thalia.
