The Ten Minute Lecture series organizes lunch-time talks and presentations at the
Melville House Bookstore in Brooklyn, New York. The series hopes to provoke dialogue on impossibly large topics in a short period of time.
Talks start at precisely 1:15pm and a twenty-minute Q&A follows. The bookstore opens at noon, so come as early as you want — but please no later than 1:15. Bring your lunch if you want. Talks end promptly at 1:45 so you can get back to work, if that's your thing.
Melville House bookstore is located at 145 Plymouth Street, on the corner of Plymouth and Pearl in DUMBO, Brooklyn. Here's a
map. F train to York. A/C to High Street/Brooklyn Bridge. Call 718-722-9204 for more information.
