The weekend-eating juggernaut that is BEA has finally lumbered into the present. I've chosen a modest handful of panels, readings, and other some such to attend. I somehow doubt I'll even make it to those. It's just too hot. And all I want to do is dance. What? If you do plan on attending, I suggest you go either Saturday or Sunday, since the prices for Friday have been jacked up to discourage commuting publishing people from overrunning the place.
In celebration of BEA, Reading the World will hold its annual party at the German Consulate General at the UN. Pictures TK (maybe).
Tit-for-tat: the New Yorker's Spring Books Party happens this Friday, so does the "Brooklyn Style" BEA party thrown by powerHouse Books, MTV Press, Vice Books and a slew of Brooklyn indie-publishers (A Public Space, Akashic Books, Archipelago Books, BOMB Magazine, Cabinet Magazine, Soft Skull Press, and Tin House).
BOMB Magazine celebrates their 100th issue this Sunday at KGB.
The 2007 PEN Literary Awards are up. Each award is accompanied by an audio.
Planning ahead: Wednesday, June 20th, 7pm. POETIC CITY: Celebration on the Waterfront by the future home of Poets House in Battery Park City. Reading by Chris Abani, Thomas Sayers Ellis, Suji Kwock Kim, Carol Muske-Dukes, U Sam Oeur, Mark Strand & Franz Wright. Music by Taylor McFerrin.
