A Stormy Night in New England
Batten down the hatches! We gathered on a chilly January eve for our monthly member reading at KGB with Oona Patrick and Elyssa East.
The crowd assembled at KGB for a Stormy Night in New England.
Host Johanna Lane emceed the evening.
Oona Patrick, a descendant of whalers, sea captains, and Portuguese fishermen, read from her memoir-in-progress about growing up in the Portuguese community in Provincetown on the end of Cape Cod.
Elyssa East read from her award-winning nonfiction book Dogtown: Death and Enchantment in a New England Ghost Town, which interlaces the story of a grisly 1984 murder with the strange dark history of Gloucester, Massachusetts’ abandoned colonial settlement.
A lively crowd turned out for Elyssa and Oona.
Awesome night. Thanks as always to Lou and the KGB crew.
