“No one writing in English is funnier or more charming than Andrew Greer. Every sentence in this novel sings.” — David Sedaris

Pulitzer Prize–winning author Andrew Sean Greer (Less) joins Guild Hall to celebrate his new novel, Villa Coco, in conversation with bestselling author, editor, and cultural commentator Derek Blasberg.

Hailed as the “Future Undisputed Book of Summer 2026,” Villa Coco is a dazzling, sun-soaked ode to life, love, friendship—and focaccia. In this magical, madcap tale, a broke and directionless young American takes on a mysterious role at the Tuscan villa of a formidable nonagenarian Baronessa known as Coco. Charged with cataloguing her vast collection, he instead navigates eccentric tasks, a parade of colorful guests, and Coco’s audacious final plan: to reunite with the lost love of her life before it’s too late.

Following the conversation, Greer will sign copies of Villa Coco. A copy of the book is included with each ticket.

Two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning author Colson Whitehead joins us to celebrate Cool Machine, the exuberant final volume of his Harlem Trilogy.

Spanning the early 1980s, the novel follows Harlem businessman and fence Ray Carney as he is pulled back into the city’s shifting criminal landscape. In 1981, a desperate bid to secure a loan for his wife draws Carney into one last heist. By 1983, his volatile partner Pepper navigates the downtown art and club scene as a bodyguard. And in 1986, Carney risks everything to save his late cousin’s son, confronting the past he thought he’d left behind.

Moving across a transforming New York—from Harlem to Wall Street to the East Village—Cool Machine brings to life a city of ambition, danger, and reinvention.

The evening features a conversation with the author, followed by an audience Q&A.
