Join us this evening at 92Y, where, snow be damned, Gary Shteyngartand Elif Batumanwill take the stage to read from their latest work. They’ll be introduced by Sloane Crosleyand our very own Lorin Stein, respectively. The night begins at 8:15; those unable (or unwilling) to face the slush can watch a free livecast here. (If last night’s Super Bowl was any indication, it will be much better than whatever’s on TV.)
