About this Event

P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome Diane Mehta to celebrate the publication of her newest book, Happier Far: a funny and engrossing tour of the absurdities and dilemmas of becoming a writer, and how family can sometimes help us and sometimes get in the way.

Diane will be joined in conversation by writer and editor Vivian Gornick. Along with a discussion and audience Q&A, Diane will also sign copies of Happier Far.
