TBE & Gold Coast Arts Center present: A Discussion with Author Shira Dicker *Now also live streamed*

A program of the Miriam & Moses Center for Pluralistic Adult Jewish Learning

***UPDATE***
Due to popular demand, this event will now also be live streamed. A link will be provided upon receipt of registration.
Those not attending in person may come into the office to pick up their copy of Shira’s book.

Join us as TBE’s Len Schiff moderates a discussion with Queens native and author Shira Dicker as she discusses her book Lolita at Leonard’s of Great Neck and Other Stories from the Before Times.

Our program will include music, an exploration of Shira’s ties to Great Neck, and a lively discussion. Shira will take attendees on an intimate, uniquely Jewish journey from 1974 through the first decade of the new millennium as her characters wrestle with identity, independence, ambition, sexuality, faith, and love.

Fun fact: Stories in the book, viewed as risqué by many, are works of fiction and not barely-disguised diary entries, according to Shira.

Shira Dicker is a restless writer-at-large, activist, and publicist, who is captivated by contemporary culture. The mother of three adult children and grandmother of three little ones lives on Manhattan’s Upper West Side with her husband, writer Ari L. Goldman, and her Havapoo Cookie, a bereaved dog whom she adopted at a shiva house last Hanukkah.

The community is welcome at this event and registration is required.
Light refreshments will be served after the program.

The $18 ticket price includes a copy of the book.
