Staten Island OutLOUD kicks off our NEA/Big Read event with fedoras and drinks, a reading & conversation on Dashiell Hammett’s “The Maltese Falcon”, and a book giveaway. Led by Island artist/photographer Gail Middleton.

What’s your favorite quote from Hammett’s classic noir novel?  Bring your fedora and a ‘wise guy’ attitude.

Wear your best “tough guy” or “mysterious broad” attire, and let your voice be heard!

“You always have a very smooth explanation ready.”  “What do you want me to do, learn to stutter?”
