Ben Lerner at Book Passage, Ferry Bldg. October 6, 2011

Ben Lerner talks about his novel Leaving the Atocha Station ($15.00). Adam Gordon is a brilliant, if highly unreliable, young American poet on a fellowship in Madrid, struggling to establish his sense of self and his relationship with art. Instead of following the dictates of his research, Adam’s work becomes a meditation on the possibility of the genuine in the arts and beyond.
