7:30 PM – Cheryl Harris Sharman, Russell Leigh Sharman, & Corey Hayes: Nightshift NYC
Elliott Bay Books
Stories and photographs of NYC’s night people: subway conductors, short-order cooks, cab drivers, street people… and my friend, Corey, no doubt, since he never calls me during daylight hours. Not that I’m bitter. In any case, the book looks interesting.
