Join us for a fascinating book launch with author Wayne Hoffman in conversation with Allan Levine.
Wayne Hoffman is executive editor of Tablet, a daily online Jewish magazine, and his cultural reporting has appeared in The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, The Forward, Hadassah Magazine, The Nation, Village Voice, Slate, and elsewhere. He has also published three novels, including the Stonewall Book Award-winning Sweet Like Sugar. Although he lives with his husband in New York City and the Catskills, he has roots in Winnipeg: His grandmother was born and raised here, and his great-grandmother—a Russian immigrant—was murdered in the city’s North End in 1913, which served as the catalyst for his new true crime memoir The End of Her: Racing Against Alzheimer’s to Solve a Murder.
