THAT TIME OF YEAR is a quarterly-ish reading series featuring writers sharing work around a theme. September’s theme is “Place.”

JENNIFER KABAT is the author of the twinned memoirs The Eighth Moon and Nightshining. Her writing has appeared in The Best American Essays, Granta, Frieze, 4Columns, New York Times Magazine, Harper’s, BOMB, and many others.

RIC ROYER is a writer, performer, performer of writings, and writer of performances. His most recent book, Niagara Falls, NY, spent two months as the best-selling Niagara Falls travel guide after Amazon mistakenly categorized it as a travel guide.

AATISH TASEER is the author of the memoir Stranger to History: A Son’s Journey Through Islamic Lands and the acclaimed novels The Way Things Were, a finalist for the 2016 Jan Michalski Prize, The Temple-Goers, short-listed for the Costa First Novel Award, and Noon; and the memoir and travelog The Twice-Born.

THAT TIME OF YEAR is hosted by Andrea Kleine
