Date and time
Thursday, July 14, 2016

Boston Literary District launches “Get Lit After Work,” a pop-up literary biergarten in front of the Cheers bar in the Faneuil Hall Marketplace with **Kate Bolick**, author of the New York Times bestseller, _Spinster: Making a Life of One's Own_. “Whom to marry, and when will it happen—these two questions define every woman’s existence.” So begins _Spinster_, a revelatory and slyly erudite look at the pleasures and possibilities of remaining single. Using her own experiences as a starting point, journalist and cultural critic **Kate Bolick** invites us into her carefully considered, passionately lived life, weaving together the past and present to examine why­ she—along with over 100 million American women, whose ranks keep growing—remains unmarried.
