This Week’s Readings
Well, that weekend flew by. I wanted to give a quick shout out to LUMINA, Sarah Lawrence’s graduate literary magazine. On Sunday night I went to their (first Brooklyn!) reading at Milk and Roses, which featured Mira Ptacin, Justin Taylor, Seth Fried, Joey De Jesus, and Heather Aimee O’Neill. The readings were all powerful in their own way, and it was a wonderful time.
Oh, and if you haven’t read Mira’s Guernica piece yet, please do so immediately.
I also wanted to mention Maud Newton’s recent interview on Brad Listi’s Other People podcast. I met Maud last week, which was totally thrilling, as she’s one of the most long-standing and influential literary bloggers of all time. (She was also super cool and friendly in person.) Anyhow, the interview is so fascinating that I found myself jotting down a few notes. Be sure to download!
On to readings for this week, which include nights with McSweeney’s and The Literarian, release parties for Heidi Julavits and Lüc Carl, and a reading by the Hasidic-no-more Deborah Feldman.

Hello hello. Hope everyone had a pleasant weekend. I did, right up until I fell ill, ugh. Hoping to get better soon because I have an excitingly play-heavy week: I’m seeing Richard III with Kevin Spacey at BAM on Tuesday (check out this preview, oh my lord) and on Thursday I’m seeing Relatively Speaking, three one-act comedies by Woody Allen, Ethan Coen and Elaine May. There’s so much amazing theater in this city and I don’t always take advantage—well, mainly because I don’t have the funds, but there are always good deals to be found (e.g. Richard III tix start at $25). My friend Jesse North blogs about theater at Stage Rush (which caused him to get picked up by Broadway.com!). I’d recommend it as a great source if you’re in or coming to NY and looking to get your theater on.

A (depressing) Packer game, the Golden Globes, dinner with the fab Sammy Davis….this was quite the eventful three-day weekend! Heading back into the workweek, there are some exciting lit events on the horizon, which include tales of tales of rehab and (cubicle) redemption.
