| September 25, 2017 |  Wrapping Up Day of Dialog Brooklyn Barbara Hoffert - @barbarahoffert Held on September 15 to coincide with the Brooklyn Book Festival, the first-ever Day of Dialog Brooklyn was a great success, with folks coming from the tristate area (and nationwide) to hear authors like Alice McDermott and Stephanie Powell Watts and editors introducing winter/spring 2018 titles. The Editors Picks' panel embraced houses large and small, New Perspectives offered fresh views on the world we share while giving voice to the sometimes voiceless, and Great Book Club Books offered books that everyone will be talking about come spring. |
