Among the many great events we have planned for the next two weeks—book launches, a panel on experimental poetry, the launch of the Cleveland Review of Books—we’re particularly excited to host a conversation between Bret Easton Ellis and Naomi Fry about Ellis’s new novel The Shards, a sensational new novel that tracks a group of privileged Los Angeles high school friends as a serial killer strikes across the city. All tickets to the event include a pre-signed copy of The Shards, as well as an entry into the running to win signed copies of American Psycho and Less Than Zero (which are, incidentally, our suggested companion texts to The Shards). The winner will be notified via email, and can collect their books at the event or at McNally Jackson's Downtown Brooklyn location.
