Monday, July 7 at 3:30 pm with Shira Decker, author of Lolita at Leonard’s of Great Neck

The five com­pelling tales com­pris­ing Loli­ta at Leonard’s of Great Neck and Oth­er Sto­ries from the Before Times take you on an immer­sive jour­ney from 1974 to the 2000s. Eigh­teen-year-old Anna, a Jew­ish col­lege stu­dent, meets a Ger­man busi­ness­man at a Greek din­er on Queens Boule­vard. Claire Seltzer of Great Neck has the hon­ey­moon from hell in Paris. Rebec­ca, a spunky eighth grad­er, is in love with Mr. Miller, her math teacher. Sarah Rein­hardt, the wife of a celebri­ty doc­tor liv­ing in Cen­tral Park West, finds her­self in a com­pli­cat­ed love tri­an­gle. Rachel Rosensweig awak­ens one morn­ing to find that her hus­band of thir­ty years, a Colum­bia pro­fes­sor, has become a dan­ger­ous rad­i­cal.

Shi­ra Dick­er is a rest­less writer-at- large, activist, and pub­li­cist who is cap­ti­vat­ed by con­tem­po­rary cul­ture. She has writ­ten for news­pa­pers, mag­a­zines, and news sites that are local, nation­al and glob­al. The moth­er of three adult chil­dren and a grand­moth­er known as “EeHee,” she lives in NYC with her hus­band, the writer Ari L. Gold­man, and Luke Wil­son the Pomeranian.
