WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18 at 7 PM Ellis Avery reads from THE LAST NUDE: A NOVEL  "As erotic and powerful as the paintings that inspired it, Avery's artist-muse love story is moreover a tale of money, class and betrayal." -Emma Donoghue, author of "Room" Inspired by real events in Art Deco painter Tamara de Lempicka's history, The Last Nude is a tour de force of historical imagination. Join us for an evening with Ellis Avery whose tantalizing window into a lost Paris is a stunning portrait of an age already vanishing as the inexorable forces of history close in on two tangled lives.
