Staff writer for The New Yorker and New York-based Canadian Adam Gopnik will moderate a conversation with American novelist, journalist, editor, and screenwriter Pete Hamill. Hamill is the author of 17 books, including the best-selling novel Forever and Snow in August and the best-selling memoir A Drinking Life. His new novel is Tabloid City, the story of 24 hours in the lives of a kaleidoscope of New York City characters. Gopnik just released an exceptionally well-received children’s book, The Steps Across the Water (illustrated by Canadian Bruce McCall), which is set in New York and in New York’s even larger secret sister city of U Nork.
