Whiskey Robber Meets Orientalist

Longtime FOB (Friend of Beatrice, not Bill) Julian Rubinstein has lined up an evening of "discussion, music, snacks, booze, [and] bank robbers" with Tom Reiss, who wrote one of my favorite nonfiction books of 2005, The Orientalist. See them in action at Housing Works Café tonight at 7 p.m.
