Cultural Center of reading and writing brings Brooklyn 200 years of New York history
The Center for Fiction is hosting new events this fall
More than just a bookstore, the Center for Fiction is a key fixture on one of the richest cultural street corners in Brooklyn. Now across from BAM and almost next door to the Theatre for A New Audience, the Center for Fiction was founded more than 200 years ago in Manhattan as the New York Mercantile Library.
Savvy and literate Brooklynites have already discovered that the Center has performance spaces, writers’ retreats, cafes and countless programs to aid and abet the art of creating great, memorable literature.
