Martin Amis in Brooklyn Tonight

British novelist, Martin Amis, will be at Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 1 tonight at 7pm.  BookCourt will present this installment of "Book Beneath the Bridge".  You may know a couple of Amis's better known books, Money (1984) and London Fields (1989).  He'll be bringing his new novel, Lionel Asbo: State of England with him tonight.  It's a very cool event and here's what Zack Zook of BookCourt had to say about it. 

Books Beneath the Bridge has created the exciting, uncompromised summer necessity of waterfront literary glory with a series supporting my belief that Brooklyn is very much the sincerest and most productive of boroughs when it comes to literature and art.  BookCourt is very proud to be part of this lineup, consisting of authors appointed by many fantastic Brooklyn bookstores. Martin Amis is one of our nicest (and newest) neighbors, and we were dying to have a peek at his new book
