NY Review of SF Readings
27th Season
presents
Alisa Kwitney
Nicholas Kaufmann
 

Tuesday, March 6th 7:00 PM
The Brooklyn Commons
(address, map, and links below)

This month we present two witty writers of the supernatural, each bending the genre to our delight.  This is Nick Kaufmann's debut with our series (mea culpa), and Alisa Kwitney was last with us for our tribute to Robert Sheckley. If they are new to you, here's a splendid opportunity to discover these wonderful, humorous, and occasionally macabre voices.



Alisa KwitneyAlisa Kwitney, who also writes under the name Alisa Sheckley, is the Eisner-nominated author of numerous graphic novels, novels, and non-fiction titles.  She was an editor at DC Comics/Vertigo and has an MFA in Fiction from Columbia. The first issue of her DC Prestige Miniseries Mystik U was named one of the 15 best comics of 2017 by i09, and the School Library Journal said Cadaver & Queen was highly recommended, adding “…this steampunk play on Frankenstein, set in the English countryside against the backdrop of the Boer War, explores themes of belonging, sexuality, and what it means to be human.” She lives in Rhinebeck, NY but is still an Upper West Sider at heart.
