Nighttime Event(s) of Note: Author Phillip Meyer will be reading at Greenlight Bookstore tonight at 7:30 p.m. The shop's website describes his latest work, The Son, as "a multi-generational epic set in Texas... Spanning most of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the narrative tells the story not just of the settlement of the west, but of the moral cost of America’s rise to power, and of the people and cultures we have displaced along the way."
