New York City Book Awards Lecture: Vivian Gornick, The Odd Woman and the City

Thursday, October 27, 2016 - 6:30 PM | Open to the Public | Members' Room | $10 with advance registration/$15 at the door

A memoir of self-discovery and the dilemma of connection in our time, The Odd Woman and the City explores the rhythms, chance encounters, and ever-changing friendships of urban life that forge the sensibility of a fiercely independent woman who has lived out her conflicts, not her fantasies, in a city (New York) that has done the same. Ms. Gornick was honored at the Library’s 2015-2016 New York City Book Awards as an Iconic New York City Writer.
