A message from Martha Southgate:

Hi, all,

I’m pleased to announce that I will be curating and reading from my new, as yet unpublished, novel in an evening that will be the last event in the “Brooklyn Reading Works” series this year. The other readers are the lovely and talented Lauren Grodstein, author of the much-acclaimed (and I found, unputdownable) recent novel “A Friend of the Family” and Danielle Evans, a fabulous newcomer (who has been in “Best American Short Stories” twice already!). Her forthcoming short story collection is entitled “Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self” and it’s really, really good.

Here’s the details, pass this on at will–but fast! Sorry I’m sending it out so late.

Where: The Old Stone House, 5th avenue between 3rd and 4th street, Park Slope
When: This Thursday June 10 at 8 pm

It’s $5 which gets you admission, wine and snacks.

Hope to see some of you (or your reading-loving friends) there.

Martha
