Description

The New York Public Library’s Live from the NYPL series returns this month and continues well into spring with a variety of talks with writers, artists and other cultural leaders. This year’s series kicks off on February 27 with host Paul Holdengräber in conversation with Patton Oswalt about his late wife’s book that tracks a California serial killer, followed by other season highlights such as a discussion with best-selling author Rachel Kushner (The Mars Room), Haitian-born immigrant Edwidge Danticat talking about the current political climate and how immigrants are affected, and actress Isabella Rossellini on her avocation of raising chickens.
