Animal Farm Reading Series

Ground Floor
2nd Thursday of every month

In the spirit of the heroic leader of animals, Napoleon, in George Orwell’s novel by the same name, the Animal Farm Reading Series is dedicated to the promotion of equality between writers—especially the most famous and respected writers.  Animal Farm is your destination for the newest and best writing with a satirical and/or critical sensibility.  The series features literary fiction, genre fiction, nonfiction, and poetry—what connects it all is that the series puts the spotlight on writing that puts the spotlight on society. It is also open to absolutely all writers, however.  In addition to new writing by great writers, every event in the Animal Farm Reading Series will also feature field reports from other reading events in New York City’s readings scene.  Hosted by Patrick W. Gallagher.
