RSVP FOR THE EVENT LINK

Widely hailed across Brooklyn and Queens as one of THE books coming out on Aug. 17, Veronica Place concerns a young woman named Anne Instagram as she moves into an apartment complex for divorcées like herself, where every woman’s past is more mysterious than the last… Will Anne fit in? Will they pelt her with rocks? And who is this mysterious man named Man who drives his indestructible car with such gender-appropriate rage? Could he have narrative import? You’ll have to RSVP to find out…

Cosponsored by Hive Mind Books and the Bureau, join Harron Walker, Nicholas Russell, Joss Barton, and Morgan M Page for a virtual night of reading and conversation.

A Zoom link will be sent out to all attendees prior to the event.
