Book reviewing is shrinking and changing fast, and this panel puts editors and critics from the Yale Review, the New York Review of Books, the New York Times and n+1 in one small room to talk about it. Expect frank talk about how reviews get made and where the work is going. If you write about books, or wish you did, this is worth an evening in Park Slope.
What to expect
A conversation among four critics moderated by the NBCC president, in the shelves of a beloved neighborhood bookstore, with time for audience questions. Seats in a small bookstore go quickly, so expect some standing room and a crowd of working writers, editors and dedicated readers.
