The 2011 Brooklyn Book Festival

We’re presenting at panel at the Brooklyn Book Festival! 11AM at the Brooklyn Historical Society Main Hall. We’ll have a booth at the festival as well where we’re holding a book drive.

11:00 A.M. Presented by Housing Works Bookstore Cafe: Radical Fictions. A family confronts the end of the Cold War in Washington, DC, 1979. A group of drunk punks await their prophet as the millennium looms in Gainesville, Florida, 1999. A beautiful eco-terrorist bombs an office building in New York, New York, 2010. Jennifer Gilmore (Something Red), David Goodwillie (American Subversive), and Justin Taylor (Gospel of Anarchy) read from their work and discuss the extremist ideologies and cultish communities their characters find themselves entangled in.

Check out the full schedule here. The festival is Sunday, September 18.
