Join Matthew Check for a reading and signing of his debut memoir, 
What Would Phillip Roth Do? - 
an irreverent, music-filled coming-of-age story set in 
mid-2000's New York City. 

Follow his misadventures as a young, Jewish educator 
and banjo player navigating faith, love, and absurdity - 
all while carrying on an imaginary conversation with 
Phillip Roth from beyond the grave. 
The book offers a heartfelt look at what it means to stumble 
toward meaning in modern adulthood.
