Novelist Warren Adler of Jackson and NYC sends this news:
Warren Adler will be speaking about his new novel at the Lincoln Center Barnes and Noble in New York City this Friday, April 18, 7.30 p.m. Funny Boys takes place in 1937, the heyday of Borscht Belt, and is about a budding comedian in the Catskills whose clientele consists of members of the notorious Murder Inc. gang. Adler will talk about his book and the impact of Jewish humor and its entry into modern mainstream comedy. Overlook Press recently published the book, which has received glowing reviews. It is Adler’s 25th novel, among which are The War of the Roses and Random Hearts. Joining him in his talk is the winner of the People’s Choice Award in the second annual Warren Adler Short Story Contest, a young standup comedian from Ireland, Fiona Walsh, who has just completed a gig in a contemporary Catskill resort.

The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
