NYC Literary Events: The New Yorker Festival
[repost as a reminder]
Tickets go on sale Thursday, August 25th at high noon. See the schedule at the New Yorker Festival site for details.
As usual, the events are numerous and filled with big names of the literary world. Just to name a few, there’s Mohammed Naseehu Ali and Jhumpa Lahiri; Edwidge Danticat and E. L. Doctorow; Nicole Krauss and Ian McEwan; Edward P. Jones and Marilynne Robinson; Zadie Smith and Jonathan Franzen.
There’s a steak dinner with high-stakes poker players, there’s a “Town Hall” meeting on Iraq, panels on Advocacy Journalism, and the one I’m trying to convince my wife to go to: “Rereading W. H. Auden” with Adam Gopnik, moderator, Hilton Als, J. D. McClatchy, Ian McEwan, Louis Menand, Katha Pollitt, Craig Raine, Mark Strand, and Helen Vendler.
There are music events, film, such as a preview of the new Wallace & Gromit film, “The Curse of the Were-Rabbit,” master classes in reporting, fiction and graphic novels, book signings…

Oh my God, that Auden session sounds phenomenal! I would love to hear how it goes.
