Nathaniel Kressen, novelist and playwright, is spewing literature all over town: he recently appeared at The L Magazine’s Literary Upstart, then did No. 8 Literary Society’s party, and now he’s coming to Brooklyn Fire Proof on June 6th to release the paperback edition of his debut novel Concrete Fever. But even if you’ve already read your signed limited release hand-stitched edition a few dozen times, come out anyway and see Teen Girl Scientist Monthly perform and then listen to a whole slew of local writers riff on the theme “Bad Romance.”
We talked with Nathaniel about life as an author and a reader in modern-day Bushwick. Also, his short story was recently featured in our ‘Sunday Read’ section!
