The Upper North Side Canadian Author Series presents Emma Donoghue (Room) December 6, 2010

In an exclusive New York appearance, Irish-Canadian novelist Emma Donoghue headlines this Upper North Side Canadian Author Series event (co-presented with Symphony Space’s Thalia Book Club) and discusses her extraordinary new novel, Room, with Michael Cunningham (The Hours and By Nightfall). Room was shortlisted for this year’s Man Booker Prize, given a rave in a New York Times Book Review front-cover review, and – in a December Quill & Quire cover story – called “the year’s most talked about book.” “Room is a book to read in one sitting. When it’s over you look up: the world looks the same, but you are somehow different, and that feeling lingers for days” (Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler’s Wife). Upper North Side subscribers are invited to purchase tickets at the discounted rate of $21 (the regular price is $25) by using the code “CANADIAN” online, or at the Symphony Space box office (either by phone, [212] 864-5400, or in person).
