We’ve partnered with Symphony Space in New York City to put on a Selected Shorts evening built around National Book Awards authors and hosted by the Foundation’s Executive Director, Lisa Lucas. Selected Shorts: An Evening with the National Book Awards will take place Wednesday, March 21, and features NBA Finalists Lauren Groff and Carmen Maria Machado, who will introduce their selected stories, which will then be read by the participating actors.

Tickets are available now at the Symphony Space website.
