Alice Hoffman is coming to Hoboken on March 11 for a special evening at Little City Books, and for anyone who loves dogs, this one will hit close to home. She’ll be joined by Laura Zigman and Alexandra Horowitz to talk about The Best Dog in the World, a heartfelt essay collection she edited. Hoffman, a New York Times bestselling author and lifelong dog lover, brings together well-known writers to share real stories about the dogs who changed their lives.
The book features essays from fourteen celebrated authors, including Isabel Allende, Chris Bohjalian, Bonnie Garmus, Roxane Gay, Emily Henry, Ann Leary, Tova Mirvis, Jodi Picoult, Elizabeth Strout, Amy Tan, Adriana Trigiani, Nick Trout, Paul Yoon, and Laura Zigman. Each writer reflects on the deep bond between people and their dogs—from the joy of bringing home a puppy to the pain of saying goodbye. It’s honest, moving, and something many readers will relate to right away. The event falls under Arts and Literary Arts and will run for about one hour.
The gathering will be held in person at Little City Books, located at 100 Bloomfield Street in Hoboken, NJ 07030. It’s a favorite local spot for book lovers and a fitting place for a conversation like this.
General admission is $26.91, and the ticket includes a signed copy of the book. The event takes place from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. EDT on March 11. One hour, a signed book, and a room full of readers who know that life with a dog is never ordinary.
