Attend Book Case Salon: Amy Sohn

Book Case Salon is a new literary series initiative for those tired of impersonal entertainment and events that leave you hungry and empty, and desiring for more.  Twice a month, the salon will give a small group of book lovers the opportunity to mingle with their favorite authors, in a private and elegant setting, and engage in intimate and passionate dialogues, while savoring eclectic wines and finger-foods. Beginning Nov 2012, Book Case TV's host, Frederic Colier, along with his wife Nancy, will host a private literary salon for a small group of book lovers in their own UWS home.  They hope to foster a convivial space and curate important works from a wide range of authors.
