One of the most celebrated and indispensable social commentators of our time, <a href="https://roxanegay.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Roxane Gay</a>, will share her wise, funny, and deeply empathetic vision of acceptance, identity, and how to be a human.

An Evening With Roxane Gay: Feminism, Culture, and Voice

For more than fifty years, Ian Frazier’s writing has been “an antidote to the blues” (Boston Globe) — whether his immersive and intimate memoirs of travel and history (“Travels in Siberia”; “Great Plains”) or his hundreds of New Yorker pieces on topics that range from friendship, parenthood, and New York City to nature, human oddities, and the secret life of maraschino cherries. He is “one of the last inheritors of the great tradition of The New Yorker,” says editor Jonathan Galassi. He has twice won the prestigious Thurber Prize for American Humor. A film adaptation of his article “Coyote vs. Acme” will be released this summer. The trailer had 25 million views on its first day.
He will visit Frenchtown to discuss his latest travelogue, “<a href="https://www.frenchtownbookshop.com/item/MWp_c1qAP1w9xYPPlUbHgA" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Paradise Bronx: The Life and Times of New York’s Greatest Borough</a>,” his essay collection, “<a href="https://www.frenchtownbookshop.com/item/f10yIDkbWssNUw37FleX9Q" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The Snakes That Ate Florida</a>,” and other topics that have lately stirred his boundless curiosity. This event will take place at Frenchtown School.
Tickets ($22) include a signed copy of “Paradise Bronx.” (Additional Ian Frazier titles will be available at the event.)
