New illustrated book reveals stories of celebs under the influence
Brooklyn BookBeat: Author, Illustrator to Speak in Greenpoint
“This book is like being at the best dinner party in the world,” comedian Chelsea Handler said, referring to “Of All the Gin Joints” — a new book written by Mark Bailey and illustrated by Edward Hemingway.
On Oct. 2, Bailey and Hemingway will appear at WORD Bookstore in Greenpoint for a conversation on the book, which divulges true stories of movie stars under the influence doing amusing, often unbelievable things. The discussion will be moderated by Karen Duffy and the event will include a whiskey tasting sponsored by High West Distillery, trivia and more.
