Mad. Sq. Reads is the free literary program of the Madison Square Park Conservancy. Held on the steps of Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ Farragut Monument on Thursday evenings in the month of July, the series, now in its sixth year, features discussions with prominent authors on a variety of topics of current interest to New Yorkers.

Discussions are hosted by Matthew Love, Books editor and contributing writer for Time Out New York.
