Brooklyn Books & Booze | Alex Shvartsman's Speculative Fiction

Two Live Events This Week

August 17, 2026

Come hang out with me and some amazing authors at two live events this week!

On Tuesday I will be at the Brooklyn Books and Booze event at the Barrow’s Intense bar in Industry City.

The event is free (other than all the books and all the booze you buy!) And speaking of booze, they will serve The Best of All Possible Drinks, inspired by my book! I can’t wait to try it.

Then this Saturday, meet a trio of humor authors at the Paramus Barnes & Noble. Are you even a real fan of humorous SF/F if you can’t name this band?

I’ll be doing a rare live event in Brooklyn tomorrow! Rare because most of the local-ish sci-fi conventions aren’t in Brooklyn, or even NYC but a few hours’ drive away in either direction: MD, MA, sometimes PA or NJ. But Randee Dawn has been doing a heroic job bringing some excellent live speculative events to our borough, first at the Ample Hills ice cream shop and now at the Barrow’s Intense Tasting Room in Industry City (Sunset Park). Which is mere blocks away from where The Middling Affliction opens, incidentally.

Join me and several fabulous authors on Tuesday, Dec 19 for an evening of readings and booze (also, shenanigans.) And it’s even free! Details can be found here:
