2 tickets for Thursday night's SOLD OUT Eat, Drink & Be Literary series with Gary Shteyngart. Tickets are $100.00

Thursday, May 17th at 6:30PM
BAM is located in Fort Greene at The Peter Jay Sharp Building, 30 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY

Presented in partnership with the National Book Foundation
Events begin with a sumptuous buffet created by BAMcafé's acclaimed executive chef, Coleman Foster, with premium wine provided by Pine Ridge Winery; live acoustic music accompanies dinner. Following the performance and dinner, authors read from their work and are interviewed by a moderator, providing a forum for authors to talk candidly about the artistic and thematic issues that inform their work. An audience Q&A and a book signing complete the evening.

    "The Russian Debutante's Handbook" and "Absurdistan" are two of my recent favourites. I think Shteyngart's one of the few young hyped-up writers publishing novels with any sense of long-term purpose to me. I wouldn't pay $100 to gnaw dinner/quaff wine/shimmy to some cutting-edge ghettotech with BK's literary elite, but to those who can--salud!

    If it makes it any more appealing (though frankly, I was unaware the ghettotech element), it's $100 for the pair...

    I have been to a couple of these events (almost always sold out!) in the past couple of years and they have been always extremely rewarding, you sit at communal tables with interesting people, you eat good food (and drink! unlimited red and white wine!) and then the author reads an excerpt, gets interviewed by an other author, and the floor is openend to a Q&A.After that books are signed I also second that Gary Steyngarth is incredible, here to stay! :P

    LOL--the ghettotech reference probably only makes sense to readers of Shteyngart's "Absurdistan." I didn't mean to give the impression that BAM will be playing it at the event. And you're right--$100 for the pair doesn't sound so bad, actually.
