Eric is a Tony Award-winning producer and author of the novel “I Make Envy on Your Disco” which was the winner of the Barbara DiBernard Prize in fiction.

The novel explores Sam's midlife anxieties as he encounters new connections, friendships, and possibilities in a city that is both a reflection of his own journey and a place of vibrant cultural rediscovery. Books will be available for sale and signing, and refreshments will be served.
