Join us for a reading, conversation, and book signing with Eric Schnall, for his debut novel, I Make Envy on Your Disco, winner of the Barbara DiBernard Prize in Fiction. 

This event is presented in partnership with The White Hart Inn and Oblong Books.

It’s the new millennium and the anxiety of midlife is creeping up on Sam Singer, a thirty-seven-year-old art advisor. Fed up with his partner and his life in New York, Sam flies to Berlin to attend a gallery opening. There he finds a once-divided city facing an identity crisis of its own. 

"A funny and moving debut" —Charles Arrowsmith, The Washington Post

“A love letter to Berlin, to travel, and to saying yes to life” — Alan Cumming
