a couple things happening soon

  • This Sunday afternoon, in Williamsburg, I’ll be reading something of Lynne Tillman’s at a release party for New Herring Press. (Thanks to the invitation of the always-great Sara Marcus.)
  • On Thursday the 17th, from 7-9, I’ll be at powerHouse Arena in DUMBO, talking with Will Hermes about his new book, Love Goes to Buildings on Fire, which I have to tell you is sort of mind-boggling — an incredibly scenic and detailed history of the music made in New York over a few years in the 70s. (It’s one of the first things I’ve read that gives you an acute sense of all these musicians really walking the same streets on the same days — the sense that Willie Colon might have been packing up after a downtown gig while Patti Smith, just two blocks away, was coming home from the studio, the night before a legendary block party up in the Bronx…) It’s a tremendous thing to have put together, and I’m looking forward to asking Will every last thing about how he managed it. (Thanks to the invitation of Will!)
