Glassman is a coming-of-age novel fifty years in the making. It tells the story of an obnoxious teenager who matures into a more civilized adult, although there are those who would question his maturity.

Steve Oskie’s plays have been produced in New York, Washington, and Philadelphia. He is the author of Mean Thoughts, a semi-finalist for the Peter Taylor Prize for the Novel, and is the ghostwriter of Jerry Blavat’s autobiography, You Only Rock Once, which has been published in hardcover, paperback, and audio book editions. Steve’s short fiction has appeared in Textures, Pierien Spring, and other literary journals. Glassman is his most recent publication.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase after the presentation. This event is free and open to the public.
