The week of March 4 is going to be a busy one for The Story Prize. (Well, at least Monday-Wednesday will be busy.)
The Story Prize event at The New School begins at 7:30 p.m. Finalists Jamel Brinkley, Deborah Eisenberg, and Jamel Brinkley will read from and discuss their nominated books. At the end of the evening, we'll announce the 15th winner of The Story Prize, who will receive $25,000 and an engraved silver bowl. But no one goes home empty-handed. Each of the other two finalists will receive $5,000. (And we guarantee that Green Book will not win.)
General admission tickets are $14. You can buy them in advance online or the evening of the event at The New School (66 W. 12 St.).
