A Night in the Catskills with Adam O'Fallon Price & Daniel Wallace

Join us for a conversation between Adam OFallon Price (The Grand Tour) and Daniel Wallace (Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions, The Watermelon King) as they discuss Adams newest book, The Hotel Neversink. A gripping portrait of a Jewish family in the Catskills, its an astounding literary feat a murder mystery, a ghost story, a century-spanning family history, and a standup routine all in one, with dramatic variety to rival any Catskills floor show (J. Robert Lennon).

Inspired by this fictional hotel in its heyday, well have borscht belt snacks and a champagne toast on the house. Jazz guitarist Charles Chace will play an acoustic set, and well have a cash bar featuring mid-century cocktails.

Copies of The Hotel Neversink will be available for purchase courtesy of our friends at The Regulator (and Adam will be on hand to sign books).
