On Tuesday, June 5, come celebrate the literary legacy of Thomas M. Disch at a special THE NEW YORK REVIEW OF SCIENCE FICTION READINGS with Henry Wessells, Brendan C. Byrne, John Clute, Gregory Feeley, Elizabeth Hand plus live performances of Disch’s work  as well as clips presented by filmmaker Eric Solstein.

Tom Disch was among the first to ever read for the NYRSF Reading series, and a subsequent reading for us some 10 years ago was the last public appearance he made.  His prose and poetry ranged from wildly satirical stories to dark cautionary tales to YA adventure to amazing verse.  He was even a pioneer in interactive computer fiction.  Henry Wessells has gathered critics, peers, a filmmaker, and Disch’s literary executor to remind (or inform) us of Tom’s legacy.

Tuesday, June 5^th • doors open 6:30 p.m.
