Book Launch Event for
The New Yorker editor
Ben Greenman's Please Step Back
Join Melville House co-publishers Dennis Loy Johnson and Valerie Merians to celebrate the launch of Ben Greenman's much-buzzed-about, ferociously intelligent funk-rock novel,Please Step Back. Praised by Walter Mosley for the way it "sings of the back-street, back-stage hyper-kinetic moment when music, stardom, and cultural sea changes pushed America irrevocably forward."
New Yorker pop music critic Sasha Frere-Jones joins Greenman live on stage for a conversation on writing, music, and more, and DJ Doc Delay (Psycrunk) takes charge of the after-party.
The first 72 people to arrive in fashion evocative of the era receive a complimentary cocktail and book (between 7 and 8 PM).
The program begins at 8PM sharp.
 Wednesday, May 13th - 7pm, FREE ~
