Friday, September 21, 7:30pm: Martin Amis with Mad Men’s Matthew Weiner
Martin Amis. Labeled an iconic writer, one of the best of the postwar British authors. Sometimes his novels are bitingly funny and ironic, and some books are dark and unsettling.
Thursday, September 13, 7:30pm: Junot Díaz with Christian Lander
Pulitzer Prize winning novelist and short story writer Junot Díaz writes some of the edgiest– and idealistic– prose in American fiction.
Fall Season coming soon: Junot Díaz. Martin Amis. Nick Hornby. Calvin Trillin. And so much more.
We hope you’re having a good and relaxing summer. We’ll post our upcoming programs soon, so watch for the following:

Tues., Feb. 28, 7:30 pm: Andy Borowitz with Patton Oswalt SOLD OUT
We are now in the thick of campaign season. Whom do we trust to report all the news about primaries, campaigns and the mood swings of voters around the country? Only one journalist gives us the news, and the news behind the news, like Andy Borowitz. Perhaps one of the most important reporters on the election beat today, Andy distills the truth from the big story, and presents it to the American public in a way that the candidates can’t: truthfully.
