A bird? A plane? A chipped teacup passed down from Aunt Mildred? Bestselling author and award-winning New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast hosts this evening of Selected Shorts inspired by her new book, The Two Saddest Kitchens. Join us for unforgettable stories exploring all things objects: from those you find hidden in your kitchen to those with great sentimental value and everything in between. Featuring an excerpt from Roz’s new book!
