I absolutely loved "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao"

Have you read "Drown" - his first book, a collection of short stories. He is going to read from both books, hopefully you can make it on the 31st. Have a good rest-of-week! Sahar

Wow, this is great! I've actually been trying to book him for the Franklin Park Reading Series. I'll try and make it.

Does the admission fee subsidize the mentorship program?

I have enjoyed mentoring the students at FPA for the last 3 semesters, so I've really gotten involved with fundraising for their first graduating class of 2012. 100% of admission will be donated to Frances Perkins Academy. You can see more at www.FPAnyc.com

Great. Thanks for the link!
