A Late Night Talk Show Writer Tells All - About Himself

The Leonard Lopate Show | Aug 14, 2015

Best known for being a writer for NBC's Late Night with David Letterman, Adam Resnick, knows a thing or two about shying away from the being in the public eye, or any eye for that matter. In his memoir, Will Not Attend: Lively Stories of Detachment and Isolation, Resnick unpacks his troubled psyche as a self-styled misanthrope. He'll discuss the motivation and meaning behind divulging his committed indifference to family, friends, strangers, and the world at large. 

EVENT: On August 18th at 7:00pm, Adam Resnick will be in conversation with Chris Elliott at the Powerhouse Arena. 
Address: 37 Main St, DUMBO Brooklyn NY 11201
