The authors of the three books featured on our front page will be speaking spoke at a free Gelf event in New York on Dec. 6th. Come Thanks for coming by the Happy Ending Lounge at 302 Broome Street at 8 pm to see writers Jack McCallum, Joshua Prager, and Brad Snyder (pictured below) read from and discuss their works.

Gelf is also featuring interviews with all three:

Joshua Prager, author of The Echoing Green about Bobby Thomson's legendary 1951 homerun, explains how he got one of baseball's biggest stories ever, responds to his critics, and exposes his lust for baseball memorabilia.

Brad Snyder, author of A Well-Paid Slave, discusses how the legal fight for free agency has made baseball better; how he came to terms with the flaws of his book's hero, Curt Flood; and why this fall's World Series was a publicity boon.

Sports Illustrated's Jack McCallum wrote Seven Seconds or Less about his season on the bench of the Phoenix Suns. He tells Gelf why Steve Nash's race didn't win him the MVP award, what he really thinks of Charles Barkley, and why he'd like to see an NBA team in Vegas.
