Authors Robert Anasi and Bradley Spinelli struggled and scribed in the two hottest hipster enclaves in the world.
Tonight they offer up selections from their novels: Anasi's "The Last Bohemia: Scenes from the Life of Williamsburg, Brooklyn," a firsthand account of the swift Williamsburg’s transformation, which he witnessed, beginning in 1994 when he lived in the now-mythological $300-month apartment; and Spinelli's "Killing Williamsburg," which traces a suicide epidemic set in Williamsburg’s grittier days and reports “in vivid, almost cinematic detail” on the early gentrification of late 1999. Following the reading, Anasi and Spinelli will participate in a Q&A led by San Francisco director and playwright Jeremy Cole.
