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.
