The raucous Crown Heights literary extravaganza that is the Franklin Park Reading Series returns Monday, July 9, with its annual "Travels and Journeys" edition. 

The monthly series brings together established authors and relative unknowns from the local literary scene. July's authors will be Mathue Roth, Mark Leyner, Eric Sasson, Rupinder Gill and Polly Bresnick, who will read from their recent and forthcoming work. 

The event will be at Franklin Park on 618 St. Johns Place in Crown Heights. Readings begin at 8 p.m. and end at 10.
