Our friends at Strand Bookstore have not only great books, but also great events all year round. This month is no different with a list that includes, Artist Robert Longo and Novelist Richard Price In Conversation, Director, Actress, Producer Penny Marshall Chats & Signs Her New Memoir and Joyce Johnson’s New Portrait of Jack Kerouac, with Journalist John Leland.
There's one event I especially want to recommend on: Filmmaker Jonathan Demme will interview author Daniel Wolff on September 18, 7-8pm.
Here are some more details from Strand's website on this upcoming interesting event:
Writer Daniel Wolff’s books include How Lincoln Learned to Read, and You Send Me: The Life of Sam Cooke. Daniel was researching for the documentary I am Carolyn Parker, which he was producing with filmmaker Jonathan Demme, when his new book, The Fight For Home: How (part of ) New Orleans Came Back, was born. The story looks at a range of locals who not only survived the floods, but also have dealt and continue to deal with the deep corruption and poverty that affects the city.
Academy Award winning director Jonathan Demme has made countless films and documentaries including The Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia and Stop Making Sense.

Please note that online orders require payment at the time of checkout to guarantee admission. The event will be located in the Strand's 3rd floor Rare Book Room at our store at 828 Broadway at 12th Street.Additional copies of the book (and previous books by the author, when applicable) will be available for purchase at the event.
