Noir at the Bar

@John & Peter's

May 23rd 9p.m.

Dennis Tafoya, Wallace Stroby and Special Guests

"Noir at the Bar" is a nationwide phenomena. Great crime fiction writers read and answer questions at a good local bar. Gritty noir and booze. The event began in Philadelphia under the direction of Peter Rozovsky and spread from there. St. Louis and Los Angeles picked up the tradition and now host the two largest Noir at the Bar events in the country. Peter Rozovsky and Dennis Tafoya decided that the East Coast needed representation again and called Farley's to see if we'd be interested in resurrecting the original Noir at the Bar format. We couldn't say no. John & Peter's graciously gave us the space to hold the event and Peter and Dennis set to work lining up readers. May 23rd will mark the re-launch of the East Coast Noir at the Bar series, hosted by Farley's Bookshop, John & Peter's and carefully guided by Noir at the bar founder Peter Rozovsky. The night's two featured readers will be Wallace Stroby and Dennis Tafoya. There are some special guest readers in the works, but their names are a secret until the 23rd at 9pm. Come down and join all of us for a great evening of crime fiction and libations.
