Do you live in New York? If so, you need to go somewhere for me. The New Yorker Festival is coming up fast, and many of this blog's favorites are going to be there.
Who, you ask? Scheduled are: Edward P. Jones ("Volvo," "By twenty five," "D.C., New York, memory"), Karen Russell ("Reading Karen Russell," "The cover: The word 'Stories' in the wolf's bite") Jonathan Franzen ("Sending the tablet into the sea," "On reading"), Orhan Pamuk ("All the drunk collected tokens," "The best part of the 'Journeys' issue"), Malcolm Gladwell ("A most reasonable 'fro," "Before the Super Bowl"), Jeffrey Toobin, and many more. Enough? I want John McPhee to canoe-surf the crowd, but I'm not holding my breath.
