Join us for an intimate evening in the Salt Shed’s Three Top Lounge with author Xochitl Gonzalez as she discusses her newest novel Last Night in Brooklyn, a captivating story about a young woman whose life becomes ensnared in her glamorous neighbor’s secret past. Set in 2007 against the backdrop of a potentially life-changing presidential election and a looming once-in-a-generation fiscal crisis, Last Night in Brooklyn explores the dark compromise of the American Dream for people of color living, unknowingly, in the twilight of a cultural moment. It’s a story about everything money can buy — and the destruction of what it can’t.   About the Author:  Xochitl Gonzalez is the New York Times bestselling author of Anita de Monte Laughs Last, a Reese's Book Club Pick longlisted for the Aspen Words Literary Prize, and the award-winning Olga Dies Dreaming, named a Best of 2022 by The New York Times, TIME, Kirkus, Washington Post, and NPR.
