Talks and Readings Jeffrey Eugenides and the Things He Likes
Posted by Edith on Wed, Dec 12, 2007 at 1:00 PM
Even more short-story readings today, this one from (among others) Jeffrey Eugenides, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Middlesex, that excellent novel about a girl who realizes she's actua--SPOILER ALERT.
Ok I'll let you figure that one out, it's a terrific book, I highly recommend it. That was back when I read books, now I just play Scrabulous online and look up real estate listings for a complicated fantasy game I play inside my head.
He'll be reading at Symphony Space (at 95th and Broadway) at 7:30pm, along with other writers, and will be discussing the influence that the MacDowell Colony (a place where artists go to flap their wrists and convalesce) had on his life and writing career. Others will follow suit, like Susan Minot, the author of the wonderful Monkeys. The short fiction from the non-famous authors will, thankfully, be read by ac-tors. The evening is not free, it's actually pretty expensive--$26 in advance, $30 day of. Whew!
Oh, this is familiar to you? Jump.
