Sarah Braunstein & Amy Shearn present Bad Animals & Dear Edna Sloane

P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome authors Sarah Braunstein and Amy Shearn for a discussion of their newest books: Bad Animals — a sexy, propulsive novel that confronts the limits of empathy and the perils of appropriation — and Dear Edna Sloane — a funny, fast-paced epistolary novel about fame, writers, ambition, and the ups and downs of a creative life — along with an audience Q&A and book signing!

After the talk, Sarah & Amy will sign copies of their respective books.
