Join Restless Books and UK-based literary magazine Litro as we celebrate Latin American culture in New York
THIS IS AN OFFICIAL 2017 BROOKLYN BOOK FESTIVAL EVENT
We’re living in a time when open borders have come under threat. Thankfully, great literature stands in opposition to dividing lines, by building connections across cultures, languages, and identities.
Join London literary magazine Litro, Restless Books, and a continent-spanning array of writers, artists, actors, dancers and musicians—including Brazilian actress and writer Fernanda Torres, author of The End, who will also be part of the Brooklyn Book Festival on September 17th—as we celebrate the defiance of borders and the launch of Litro’s World Series—Latin America edition. The benefit will be an unforgettable evening of Latin American food, drinks from Estrella Jalisco and Brooklyn Gin, music, and culture at the East Village Mexican restaurant La Palapa on September 14th, 2017.
Plus, there will be an unforgettable after-party with a DJ and dancing sponsored by Herradura tequila!
Check out our Facebook event page for more information on the benefit program, and we hope to see you there!
