Ben Marcus + Deb Olin Unferth

Last year, Rick Moody told TONY that he considers Ben Marcus an essential New York writer—someone who's both experimental and readable, who entertains even as he expands your understanding of what makes a story. Tonight, Marcus, the author of The Age of Wire and String, reads from his much anticipated novel, The Flame Alphabet. He's joined by Unferth, the author of Vacation and another writer who matches a boundary-pushing sensibility with narrative gifts. NOON editor and author Diane Williams introduces.
