Last Night’s Reading: Illustrated Encounters with Extraordinary Authors

With Kate Gavino, a Brooklyn-based writer and illustrator.

This illustrated lecture features irresistible illustrations of authors and the charming, wise and hilarious things they say at their readings. At every book reading the author attends, she hand-letters the event’s most memorable quote alongside a charming portrait of the author, and takes us on her journey through the New York literary world, from literary legends to celebrity authors to contemporary favorites, on topics ranging from friendship and humor to creativity and identity.
