Robert Raasch, author of The Summer Between, in conversation with Christopher Bram (in person & live-streaming)

October 13 @ 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

A book launch in kind with National Coming Out Day. Christopher Bram is the acclaimed author of twelve books, including the novel that became the Academy-Award-winning movie, Gods and Monsters. He teaches at the Gallatin School of New York University. Christopher and Robert Raasch will read from Robert’s much-awaited debut novel, The Summer Between. Set in New York City’s vibrant Greenwich Village in 1978, The Summer Between is the bittersweet, unsparingly honest coming-of-age saga of Andrew Jackson Pollock. Christoper and Robert will read excerpts from the novel amidst conversation and questions and answers.

Registration is not required. Seating is first come, first served.
