Sunday Salon w/ Lauren Belski - 10.19.25

“Join us for a powerful evening at the October 19th Sunday Salon, featuring four remarkable writers whose work traces the uncertain lines between memory and reinvention, home and exile, intimacy and distance. Belonging is redefined in the blurred spaces where their stories intersect. DJ DubSix returns with a mix that keeps the vibe going.”

Von Bar, 3 Bleecker St. 5pm.

An official Brooklyn Book Festival Event

Celebrate the launch of Brooklyn's newest publishing house, Under the BQE. Run by a collective of writers, artists, and musicians who believe in the creative communities springing up in the outer reaches, in the shadow of the mainstream, each year’s publication list is acquired by the authors who were published the year before, creating a deep-rooted platform of writer-supported literature. Please join us for our first event, featuring flash readings (2 minutes or less!) from Under the BQE's forthcoming titles, Dark Enough and The Cloud Intern, along with a special guest, followed by tunes, merch, pre-orders and hanging out at Mama Tried, under the BQE!
