About this Event
December Village Story Salon: FEAST
Village Story Salon is a new monthly prose-reading series at the Hudson Park Library in New York City. At each event, three or four published authors of fiction and nonfiction share recent and upcoming work tied to a monthly theme. Then we all discuss inspiration and process. Books are for sale!
It's FEAST season—and we've asked this month's readers to tie their readings to this theme. Our readers will be Racquel Goodison, Amy Gottlieb, and Syreeta McFadden.
Village Story Salon is co-hosted by writers Cheryl J. Fish and Jonathan Vatner. The event is free and open to the public. Tickets are encouraged but not necessary. Please arrive on time, as we can't guarantee the doors will remain open.
All are welcome!
