McNally Jackson and the NYRB Classics: Devil's Night with Susan Bernofsky

Come and celebrate Devil's Night—the night before Halloween—as Susan Bernofsky discusses her translation of Jeremias Gotthelf'sThe Black Spider, a book about the devil, his spider servants, and a Swiss hamlet. "There is scarcely a work in world literature that I admire more" (Thomas Mann). With artist and art historian Martha Friedman.  Front-row seats will be given to those arriving in the best spider outfit, and a bottle of champagne to whoever comes in the best Susan Bernofsky.
