Travel writer Stephanie Elizondo Griest, author of 100 Places Every Woman Should Go, will be reading tonight from her first book, Around the Bloc, which chronicles her time living and working in communist countries Russia, China and Cuba, and from her upcoming novel Mexican Enough: My Life Between the Borderlines, about her travels through the motherland with her own mother in tow. The gig takes place at Manhattan’s KGB Bar in the Lower East Side. If you’ve never been, it’s a wonderful evening of literature the way it was meant to be heard: drunk. Try it, won’t you?
