Pen Parentis Literary Salon: Authors on Their Passions

Pen Parentis is pleased to announce an evening of readings and conversation with three wonderful writers about the passions that inspire their work. Ann Hood, bestselling author of the novel The Knitting Circle, will discuss her love of knitting and the anthology she edited, Knitting Yarns. Rick Moody, author of the acclaimed novel The Ice Storm, will talk about his music making and writing, the latter of which was collected in the book On Celestial Music. Accomplished journalist and author Max Watman will regale us with tales of food and drink drawn from his new book Harvest. Each author will read from their work and then participate in an informal, salon-style roundtable about their writing, parenting, and the topics that inspire them. It’s sure to be a wide-ranging, entertaining evening, and we hope that you will join us.

The reading takes place on Tuesday, March 11th at the elegant Hotel Andaz at 75 Wall Street, which graciously provides happy hour specials on beer on wine. The night kicks off at 7:00 pm, and admission is free. RSVP is recommended, but not required—the Pen Parentis Literary Salon is open to adults over the age of 21. The authors’ books are available for purchase from The Park Slope Community Bookstore.
