José Manual Prieto & Esther Allen
Lit&Lunch end-of-season event
Celebrate our final reading of the 2008-2009 season! Cuban novelist José Manual Prieto and his translator Esther Allen will read from Prieto's latest book, Rex. Released last month by Grove Press, Rex is a sophisticated literary game rife with allusions to Proust and Borges, set in a world of wealthy Russian expats and mafiosos in western Europe.
The Center for the Art of Translation thanks the Hotel Rex featuring Café Andrée for generously providing accommodations for the guest poets of Lit&Lunch.
Delicious lunches from La Boulange.
 Guests are strongly encouraged to pre-order lunch. Though lunch may be purchased the day of the event, pre-ordering ensures the availability of your desired meal and allows you to take advantage of shorter pre-order lines. Orders will be accepted until noon on Friday, June 5.
