IN PERSON— THE RACKET & GREEN APPLE BOOKS PRESENT: A LIVE EVENT FEATURING ELIZABETH GONZALEZ JAMES, MIAH JEFFRA, TOM LIN AND JENNIFER LEWIS, at The Sycamore (2140 Mission St.), July 6th @ 6:30.

It’s been a long time since we’ve gathered our friends and literary family for the evening, but it is finally come to fruition. We’ve got a stacked line-up of authors reading from new work. Elizabeth Gonzalez James will be reading from Mona at Sea (her debut novel), Miah Jeffra from his first short story collection (The Violence Almanac), Tom Lin from The Thousand Crimes of Ming Tsu (his debut novel) and Jennifer Lewis from something new and surprising.

Green Apple Books will be selling, well, books. There will be a post-reading conversation with the authors moderated by our own Noah Sanders. There will be hugs and beers and more hugs and the sort of awkward pauses over a cigarette we just haven’t had in a while.

We hope to see you there.
