NEW YORK (!)

Sean Lovelace breaks CUBE down at HTMLGIANT.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about New York, it’s that New York will always find a reason to bring you to her. I’ll be there March 29-April 1 to crash some magazine party, and then May 17-19 to read at the FSG series with Chris Adrian.

I really wanted to come out around March 20-25, but the SXSW music festival shuts shit down around here and plane tickets are suddenly a thousand bucks and it’s like we’re Paris in Texas (or maybe the opposite of Paris in Texas). Here’s the stuff I feel tragicated to miss:

  • Vol.1 is putting together a reading at the Brooklyn Winery on March 23rd, in conjunction with Big Other. Norman Lock and Marcy Dermansky are on the menu.
  • Sunday March 20th at 7pm, the Soda Series goes up with Michael Leong, Janice Shapiro and Mike Young.
  • All next week is an epic read-through of Blake Butler’s There Is No Year at different venues. Bring your Magic cards.
  • Joni Wallace is reading in a Four Way Books benefit reading way out around May 5, location unknown, let me know if you want me to find more info for you and I shall.

If you live in New York you should make it a point to go to those things and then post on my blog making gentle fun of me for living in America’s most Texas-shaped state.

Also, big congrats to Grace Krilanovich for making The Believer finalist list.

NEW YORK (?)

Chris Higgs continues his exploration of experimental literature on HTMLGIANT with a Q&A with Bhanu Kapil. She writes, “The vibration I feel when I am with other experimental women writers is very strong, and I want to live by this vibration, this joy, even if it’s completely imperceptible to others” and now I want to find experimental women writers and be in a room with them and know this vibration. I am serious.

With that in mind, also coincidentally, I need to be in NYC between tomorrow morning and the end of April. So please, let me know when is a good time, if you happen to meet any of the following qualifications:

  • You know of a cool reading/show I should come see
  • You know of a cool reading I should come read in
  • You are an experimental woman writer and you want to sit in a room
  • You have an extra ticket to Die Walküre
  • You know a good place to get a savory pie
