Get HARD with Wayne Hoffman

May 10, 2015 @ 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Free

 

Author Wayne Hoffman reads from his steamy and comic debut novel, HARD, newly republished this month by Bear Bones Books. HARD follows a group of young AIDS activists trying to get laid and fight City Hall during NYC during the 1990s crackdown on gay businesses. Publishers Weekly called it “an intriguing exploration of politics and psyche,” while another reviewer quipped: “Think Woody Allen meets ACT UP.” Wayne will also give us a quick peek at AN OLDER MAN, the sequel to HARD, which is due out in June.
