Gelf's Varsity Letters sports reading series is moving to Thursdays. At this free monthly event at a bar in New York's Lower East Side, on Thursday, November 8, at 8 p.m., Bruce Feldman, Steve Friedman, John Wolff, and Rick Wolff will read from and talk about their work, and take questions. In their new books, Feldman goes inside the shadowy big business that is college-football recruiting; Friedman examines the inner turmoil of great athletes; and the Wolffs, father and son, share their tales of adventures in minor-league baseball.
Admission is FREE. Please spread the word to sports fans and book lovers.
