Nighttime Event of Note: Author Chuck Klosterman reads from his new book “I Wear the Black Hat: Grappling with Villains (Real and Imagined)” at BookCourt tonight. “Masterfully blending cultural analysis with self-interrogation and imaginative hypotheticals, ‘I Wear the Black Hat’ delivers perceptive observations on the complexity of the antihero (seemingly the only kind of hero America still creates),” BookCourt writes. The event starts at 7 p.m. and will be followed by an audience Q&A.
