Readings
 • Saturday, January 2 at 6 p.m. Ring in the New Year with Jason Epstein reading from his new book "Eating: a Memoir," published by Random House. Epstein is the legendary editor and publisher of Vladimir Nabokov and E. L. Doctorow, among many other distinguished writers; and the editor of such great chefs and bakers as Alice Waters and Wolfgang Puck. Epstein takes us on a culinary tour through his eventful life, beginning with his childhood summers in Maine, where his decision to improve upon his grandmother's chicken pot pie led to a lifetime at the stove. From the great restaurants of postwar Paris to the narrow streets of New York's Chinatown today; from a New Year's dinner aboard the old Ile de France with Buster Keaton to an evening at New York's glamorous "21" restaurant with the dreaded Roy Cohn, this delicious book celebrates a lifetime of pleasure in cooking and eating well. Epstein's recipes unfold as stories that he would tell a friend in stove-side conversation. And as he demonstrates his personal touches in putting a dish together, he inspires readers to be creative. A rich and provocative book, 'Eating' will whet the appetites of all who love good food and delightful company. Epstein is the recipient of many awards, including the National Book Award for Distinguished Service to American Letters. For many years he was editorial director of Random House. He is the author of "Book Business: Publishing Past, Present, and Future. "

 • Saturday, January 16 at 4 p.m. New Yorker writer Ian Frazier reads from his new book on Siberia.

The events are free and open to the public.
