Margaret Atwood
Who knew that the young girl who passed her time in the backwoods of Quebec reading pocketbook mysteries, Grimm's Fairy Tales and comics would grow up to become Canada's best-known novelist? Margaret Atwood might have had an inkling. The author of the critically-acclaimed novels The Handmaid's Tale and Oryx and Crake, kicks off 92Y's Poetry Center season with a reading from her most recent book, The Year of the Flood (Knopf Doubleday), which just came out in paperback.
An Evening of Gatsby with Elevator Repair Service
"The Great Gatsby meets The Office" said the Boston Globe about Gatz - a six-hour drama in which every line of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel is read aloud by members of the theater group Elevator Repair Service. ERS sends actor Scott Shepherd and director John Collins to 92Y to perform a piece from Gatz (a week before its New York premiere) and discuss the production with The Public Theater's Oskar Eustis.
