Join us for a reading and book signing by author Michael Alenyikov. The linked stories in this powerful debut by Michael Alenyikov swirl around the titular fraternal twins and their father, Louie, as they make their way from the oppressive world of Soviet-era Kiev to the frenetic world of New York City in the late nineties.
We are event-less tonight, so you should go to The Center instead.
