Last night the Blake Butler grand tour hit Word. Though it went longer than the previous night (part 2 of the book is longer than part 1), in some ways it felt shorter thanks to some excellent readers like Sasha Fletcher and Claire Donato and many more. Special thanks must also be given to Lori of the next best book club (and her mom!) who drove in from the Poconos.
Tonight we’ll be at the Center for Fiction. Please come out, even if it’s raining! The Center for Fiction is very cozy.
Also, by request: here’s a list of all the readers for the first two nights. One great thing about these readings is that I’m finding new people whose work I want to check out—you will too!
