Tom Comitta presents Patchwork, ft. Gideon Jacobs

P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome Tom Comitta to celebrate and discuss their new book, Patchwork: a novella that is at once a picaresque quest for a stolen snuffbox and a marvel of literary découpage, equal parts love story, old-fashioned thriller, and absurdist romp.

Tom will be joined in conversation by Gideon Jacobs. Along with a discussion and audience Q&A, Tom will also sign copies ofPatchwork.
