Jackson Heights is one of the most linguistically diverse neighborhoods on earth, and this reading mirrors it by pairing Queens writers with Tamil novelist Jeyamohan, whose White Elephant is newly in English. Eugene Lim, Nita Noveno and Monica de la Torre bring local voices, and a reception follows. If you want a literary night that feels rooted in Queens, this is it.
What to expect
Short readings from local writers, an onstage conversation with Jeyamohan, then a reception among the bookshop's shelves. The reception is a relaxed chance to browse the shelves, buy a signed copy and talk with the writers.
