Events & Calendars Fiction Reading: Karolina Waclawiak

“Waclawiak takes the immigrant novel and spins it on its head,” Gary Shteyngart wrote about Karolina Waclawiak’s first novel, "How To Get Into the Twin Palms", which was a New York Times Editors’ Choice in 2012. Her second novel, "The Invaders", has been optioned by ABC Television. Roxane Gay calls it “ an elegant, ominous book. It’s a sharp, witty novel of manners of the most sinister kind. In Waclawiak’s expert hands, this novel will have you holding your breath and your heart until the very last word.” "AWOL", a feature Waclawiak co-wrote with Deb Shoval, premiered at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival. Waclawiak is the deputy culture editor at BuzzFeed. The reading will be followed by refreshments.
