Anne Landsman leads this free discussion group open to members of the library. The Literarians read a wide variety of novels and vote every few months on a new theme to explore. The group meets at 12:15pm on the second Thursday of every month and is led by the Center's executive director, Noreen Tomassi. Please contact the Library if you would like to join the group. The Center for Fiction, 17 East 47th Street, New York, NY

Please join us for an evening exploring the intimate and complex conditions of domestic relationships as they relate to giving and receiving care, featuring Nell Casey—editor of the national bestseller Unholy Ghost: Writers on Depression and An Uncertain Inheritance, in which contributors reveal their experiences in caring for family through illness and death—and Anne Landsman, author of the novels The Devil's Chimney and The Rowing Lesson, described by The New York Times Book Review as "viscerally appealing" and currently shortlisted for the $100,000 Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature. 172 Allen Street (between Stanton & Rivington Street)

A reading and celebration of two extraordinary literary achievements: Lawrence Shainberg (Ambivalent Zen, Memories of Amnesia, Brain Surgeon: An Intimate View of His World) reads from Crust (Two Dollar Radio, October), praised as "one of the most perverse and single-minded satires I've read" by Jonathan Lethem and described by Norman Mailer as "an academic send-up... wild as sin"; Anne Landsman (The Devil's Chimney) reads from The Rowing Lesson (Soho Press, November), which provoked an astonished New York Times Book Review critic to note, "Landsman is a gambler, and here she risks everything" in a feat that, The Guardian (UK) declared, "confirms her reputation as a major new voice." Book Culture, 536 W. 112th Street
