Chekhov's Mistress
Reading Railroad: Aug 5-12
Morrison, Jones, Franken & Krugman
There are a couple of noteworthy readings this week:
Thursday, August 5th
Toni Morrison and Edward P. Jones (The Known World – ‘04 Pulitzer) read at Central Park Summerstage, Ramsey Playfield (@72nd St).7:30 p.m. Free.
Al Franken & Paul Krugman at B&N 33E. 17th St (Union Square, Brdway/Park Ave), 7p.m.
Funny meets Brilliant.
This isn’t the sort of thing I would usually recommend, but Paul Krugman, despite having sold his soul to the NY Times, is really one of the smartest people I’ve ever run across. I saw him in a debate on the Japanese economy at NYU and he [insert appropriate cliché], or said differently, he was far more convincing than the others, including a Harvard prof and the chairman of a major Japanese bank. So, even though everything he says these days is tendentious as hell (not that I disagree with everything he says), it’s probably worth hearing what he has to say.
– And if you can’t make it out of the apartment, go to The Paris Review for a web-only interview with Ignacio Padilla “as he discusses his forthcoming story in The Paris Review, the Crack movement in Mexican fiction, and Frida Kahlo.” –
Read widely, think well, and write often.
