BLR Book Salon with Anne Fadiman

Please join us as we welcome author Anne Fadiman, author of the iconic The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, for an exclusive BLR Book Salon on Saturday, May 17.

Don’t miss this special evening of stimulating discussion, mixing, mingling, and refreshment, all in a stunning setting overlooking Lincoln Center and Central Park. Come if you’re a healthcare professional who scribbles in secret, a reader who loves going behind-the-scenes with authors, or a book-lover who just wants to enjoy an evening filled with fascinating characters, on and off the page.

Danielle Ofri, BLR Editor-in-Chief and author of What Doctors Feel and When We Do Harm, will host a fireside chat with Anne.  There will be books available at the event for purchase and signing.

This exclusive BLR Book Salon will be held on Saturday, May 17, from 7:30-9:30 p.m., at the home of a generous BLR supporter in the West 60s in New York City. Please RSVP as soon as possible to reserve your spot.
