Hawke is a five-time Oscar nominee who also writes novels and graphic novels, and One Nightstand is built around guests picking the books that shaped them. Hearing that conversation in the Strand's leather-lined Rare Book Room, on the store's own anniversary day, is about as New York literary as a night gets. If you love the Before trilogy or just good book talk, get a ticket before the room fills.
What to expect
A small, seated room on the Strand's third floor, lined with antique volumes, with host and guest in conversation for a recorded episode. Expect Hawke to discuss a handful of his favorite titles and how he first read them, with the audience as the live studio crowd.
