Tim Murphy in conversation with Scott Heim

September 14, 2016 | 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Brookline Booksmith welcomes Tim Murphy, author of the highly anticipated novel, Christadora, which follows intertwining characters in an iconic building in the East Village by the same name. Moving kaleidoscopically from the Tompkins Square Riots and attempts by activists to galvanize a true response to the AIDS epidemic, to the New York City of the future, Christodora recounts the heartbreak wrought by AIDS, illustrates the allure and destructive power of hard drugs, and brings to life the ever-changing city itself.

Tim Murphy will be appearing in conversation with novelist Scott Heim (Mysterious Skin).
