Acclaimed Author Lee Stringer to Speak NYC March 29th

The Small Press Center would like to announce our lecture series Emerging Voices. This series is highlighting writers published by groundbreaking independent presses, and is being kicked off with Lee Stringer, author of the new book Sleepaway School, as well as Grand Central Winter, his critically acclaimed memoir about his experiences of addiction and homelessness.

Stringer will appear with Dan Simon, publisher and founder of Seven Stories Press, and discuss his life, his work, and how they influence each other. In particular, he will be focusing on his latest release, a poignant memoir of his childhood, experiences in foster care, and three-year stay at a boarding school for at-risk children.

The event will be held at the General Society Library on March 29th, at 20 West 44th Street between 4th and 5th Avenues. This event, as well as the others in the series, is free to the public. Reservations via telephone- 212.764.7021, or e-mail- info@smallpress.org- are strongly recommended, as seating in The General Society Library is limited.
