BookStalked: Amanda Bullock of Housing Works
Remember back in my first BookStalked post when I said I’d be interviewing not just authors, but also various other important/cool folk in the New York lit scene? Without further ado, allow me to introduce Amanda Bullock, the Director of Public Programming at the popular non-profit Housing Works Bookstore Cafe. I’ve always appreciated Housing Works for hosting such a fun variety of events—from panels to concerts to Moth StorySLAMs to Friday night happy hours. And there are also, of course, the great readings—in just the past few weeks, Patti Smith, Ben Marcus and Sara Benincasa have all graced the stage. Amanda has some amazing stories from her time as director (including, yes, public urination), shared after the jump.
Seth and Daniel Clowes
Seth and Daniel Clowes had a vision.
A reading vision. Instead of giving a slide show, or hustling to sell their books, they would have a chat. One they might have if running into each other back at the hotel after a convention— though, as Daniel noted, this probably wouldn’t happen in front of 400+ staring fans.
