LIVESTREAM EVENT: Friday 12/2 6PM EST Leslie Epstein, The Goldkorn Variations: a trilorgy | Author Reading, Q & A

We are so sorry that the event on the 18th was cancelled; we hope you will attend the new reading on December 2nd 6PM ET.

Because of rioting in the streets, Leslie has agreed to read the famed MÉNAGE À SIX chapter as part of his presentation. With the cat.

There is no registration needed, just a link (see button just below) taking you straight to YouTube for a live broadcast. Best to push the button just prior to 6PM on the night of the event. But you’ll see that the stage is set, if you do a trial run beforehand.

CLICK HERE FOR THE EVENT!

Leslie Epstein’s THE GOLDKORN VARIATIONS collects in one definitive volume, with a new afterword by the author, three previously published novels (originally from E.P. Dutton and Norton presses) about an aged European flautist, his music and his loves, from childhood to age one hundred and four.

The Portable Island: Nonfiction on Cuba

With a Cuban Song in the Heart features the artwork from 280 album covers from Iván Acosta’s collection of over 5,000 long-playing discs. From unlikely images of historical newsmakers (Fidel Castro drinking a Coca-Cola on a public bus) to a roster of jet-setting celebrities, Ramiro Fernández’s Cuba Then is a welcome new edition of this seductive and lush photographic survey of the small island that continues to fascinate the world. Told in the words of the immigrants themselves, the stories in Jose Manuel Garcia’s Voices from Mariel offer an up-close view of this international crisis, the largest overseas mass migration in Latin American history.
