Since its inaugural event in September 2013, BAM’s “Unbound” literary series has featured such personalities as John Cleese, Philip Glass, Kim Gordon, Jonathan Lethem, and Angélique Kidjo presenting their new books, teaming up with the nearby Greenlight Bookstore. Tickets are now on sale for the fall festival, which begins September 24 with the launch of Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear, with the author of Eat Pray Love joined by Tony-winning playwright and actress Sarah Jones. On September 27, Adam Driver, Paul Giamatti, David Strathairn, and others will be at BAM to read selections from Bryan Doerries’s The Theater of War: What Ancient Greek Tragedies Can Teach Us Today, followed by a discussion with Doerries, held in conjunction with the Onassis Cultural Center NY. On October 6, Sara Bareilles will discuss her essay collection, Sounds Like Me: My Life (so far) in Song, with Ben Folds, while Gloria Steinem will discuss her latest book, My Life on the Road, on October 27. The all-star lineup concludes on November 10 with Elvis Costello lending further insight to his memoir, Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink, with Rosanne Cash. Tickets are $25-$30 for a seat in the Howard Gilman Opera House and $45 if you want a signed copy of the book as well. (The Gilbert, Doerries, and Costello books will be presigned.)
