@ Housing Works Bookstore Cafe – 126 Crosby Street
Housing Works’ Geek Week (March 6-12) is a booksale (30% off sci fi, fantasy, comics, vintage vinyl, science and math books all week) and geeky event extravaganza.
Explore the past, present, and future of fantasy and science fiction with authors Myke Cole (Control Point), Hillary Jordan (When She Woke), and Naomi Novik (Crucible of Gold), in discussion with http://Tor.com staff writer Ryan Britt.
They’ll discuss dragons in the Napoleonic Wars, elves in the Pentagon, criminals of (literally) a different color, and the state of SF/F, as well as sign books and take questions from the audience.
Co-sponsored by Housing Works and WORD in a team-up of epic proportions. Plus complimentary wine!
