He will be in conversation with Victoria Wilson, vice president and senior editor at Alfred A. Knopf. Mr. Garfunkel will not be signing books at this event, however pre-signed copies will be available.
“It’s hard to imagine any single word that would accurately describe this book . . . an entertaining volume that’s more fun to read than a conventional memoir might have been.”
—The Wall Street Journal
