The Boys - Author Katie Hafner in Conversation with Gary Shteyngart

The National Arts Club is thrilled to host a virtual event with Katie Hafner, author of The Boys, in conversation with bestselling author Gary Shteyngart.

Katie Hafner is best known as a journalist, who was a New York Times staff writer for 10 years and is the author of seven books, ranging from The House at the Bridge: A Story of Modern Germany (1995), the history of a 150-year-old villa located on the famous Glienicke Bridge, to a tome on the Internet’s birth (Where Wizards Stay up Late: The Origins of the Internet, written with her late husband, Matthew Lyon). The Boys, a pitch perfect rendering of the inner and outer life of Ethan Fawcett, a nerdy introvert, is her debut novel. In her beautifully written story, Hafner not only creates complex and compelling characters, but a unique and original narrative with a truly astonishing central twist. As The New York Times wrote, “Katie Hafner’s taut and utterly delightful debut is a novel of multitudes….What a wonder of storytelling.”

The Boys can be purchased prior to the event and during the event from our preferred independent bookseller Books on Call here. Our Country Friends by Gary Shteyngart is also available here.
